I'll just leave this here...

Damn, that's slow. Seems to scale almost perfectly with hardware memory bandwidth when comparing with Claymore's AMD miner. R9 290X has 3.7x theoretical memory bandwidth compared to 750 Ti and does around 600 H/s. Surprise, 600 / 3.7 comes to around 162. Same story with 270X and it's rougly 2x mem bandwidth. Guess that's not entirely unexpected since there's a whole lot of global memory access going on with the cryptonight algo. Still poking at it but I doubt it'll improve much without C&C level voodoo magic and that's well beyond my skillset Smiley
Is this something you're coding on your own, then, or has Christian given you early access to his Cryptonight code? I'm guessing the former. Anyway, I've got some NVIDIA laptops as well as a GTX 770 and GTX 780 I could run it on to see how it scales if you're interested. Waiting with baited breath for this.... :-)
