Attached is nvMiner or otherwise known as ccminer 1.2U-B (U=unified)

Same as the last version but with possible improvements to CryptoNight

If you run CryptoNight can you try this version with and without your usual -l and let me know what hash speeds you get?
Also what cards you have?

Have fun,

Thanks for putting this all together in one package!

For CryptoNight without the launch config, nvminer gave me 64 blocks of 8 thread (8x64), and gave me about 385 h/s on my 780 Ti Classified. -l 4x120 gives me 475 h/s, for reference.

Nice.  So 4x120 on the 780 TI gives you the highest rate?  Could you do me a favor?  Please do a "cut and paste" of the specific way the card is shown. Examples:
GeForce GTX 750 Ti
GeForce GTX 660
GeForce GT 740M

Could you also try 4x128 and let me know the hash rate you get with that?  I think block sizes of multiples of 32 are closer to optimal.
Here is what I've found from testing:
GeForce GTX 750 Ti  8x96
GeForce GTX 660  7x96
GeForce GT 740M  9x64
Default for unknown cards 8x64

I'm still testing different variations but those are the best I've found so far.  If anyone has any better configs I'm all for trying it and can make it the default for those cards.

Whoops!  475 h/s was actually at -l 6x120.

Did some short-run testing (FWIW, my rig is running on 8 GB of RAM and on an i5-4670k @ 4.5 GHz.):
GeForce GTX 780 Ti 6x128 : 450 h/s
GeForce GTX 780 Ti 4x128 : 430 h/s
GeForce GTX 780 Ti 4x120 : 440 h/s

I might do some more testing at a later date for higher thread numbers, but, from what it looks like so far, other choices are still more profitable for higher-end cards (like the 780 Ti) to mine.
