I'm mining MaxCoin with 1GH.com using Cudaminer, and I have an NVIDIA Quadro 4000 graphics card that I'm using. Oh, and I'm on a windows 7, 64 bit computer. Things seem to be working, but I want to be sure that I'm not potentially burning up my graphics card. I have my connection string set to:

cudaminer.exe -H 1 -l F512x16 -a keccak -o stratum+tcp://maxpool.1gh.com:17333/ -u account -p password

I'm getting what I think is decent performance, I think... but not earning much in the way of maxcoins...seems to take a lot of effort just to earn tiny fractions.

The command window indicates that hashes seem to average around 28280 khash/s unless I start doing stuff on my computer, then it gets lower. Anyway, the temperature seems stable around 77 to 78 degrees, and it is operating at the gpu stated upper limits. I'm getting quite a few yays, and only an occasional boo. Here is a link to a screen shot of the command window and gpu z.

Can someone who understands this stuff tell me if I'm within a good range to maintain optimal performance while keeping my graphics card in good shape??? Or am I risking wearing it out? Is there a more appropriate setting for my graphics card?

Also, I've been letting the program run pretty consistently all day (probably over 16 hours I think), and I've only earned 0.16 MAX. That seems kind of low, doesn't it? Huh

Would appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks

That card is too expensive to use for mining. It is not worth it, specially if your job depends on that professional device.

Please request assistance at the cudaminer thread, though. I'm an newbie at Nvidia mining too

If you actually love to try mining, I suggest you rent an Amazon EC2 GPU HVM spot instance Windows Server 2008
or purchase an ATI R9-270 card (or better yet, wait to evaluate the incoming R9-280 and R7-265).
