Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux]
Non overclocked - 330Kh/s
Mild overclock - 360Kh/s
Max overclock - not tried yet but 400 Kh/s should be obtainable without issue.

I am working on some secret sauce to make Kepler generation devices even faster.
Hi Christian:
I apologize in advance if this question has been asked before.
Do you recommend running cpuminer concurrently with cudaminer?
Thanks in advance for your input and all your hard work.
Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux]
I wanted to give my stats:
GTX 580 using 331.82 drivers
Using Cudaminer 11/20/2013
Win 7 X64
options: -H 1 -l F16x14
Auto-tuning was using F32x8 which was averaging lower than what I am getting using F16x14.
avg about 230 khash/s
I was using the 64 bit version but I was only averaging about 200 khash/s
Using about 95% of GPU running at a temp of about 83 degrees Celsius.
I believe this is the best I can expect running a stock GTX 580 with no overclocking.

I think you should get more than that as i get 230Kh/s from a 560ti 448 core. Maybe try F16x16? oh and -i 0.
Hey fruittool:
Thanks for the tip. GPU usage has increased to 99%.
I am now hitting a max of 240 khash/s.
GPU Core running at 85 degrees Celsius.
Update:
I started using -C 1 option.
My lowly vanilla GTX 580 now maxes at 259 khash/s!
Re: Noob question - mining and generationg partial bitcoins
What if you're trying to solve a block and someone else solves at first, was all your time wasted?
Effectively, yes. Mining is a race, winner (of the block) takes all.
Fascinating discussion. I was not aware of this.
Now, I feel like I'm at the racetrack.
It is incorrect (and a common misconception). Nothing is wasted when someone else solves a block because there is no "progress" towards a block. Each hash is like a lottery ticket. It either wins or it loses. Nothing more. Having a thousand losing tickets means they are still losers regardless of if someone else wins or not.
If you mine a quadrillion hashes that fail to meet the difficulty target, you are no "closer" to solving a block then when you first started. Each hash is an independent roll of the dice. It either solves the block or it doesn't.
Hi DeathAndTaxes:
Thank you for your insight.
I find this process of seeking the "right" hash quite stimulating.
Question: Would you agree then, that if one has the money to buy a supercomputer, then it would behoove one to put the supercomputer to work on solving for the correct hash. I reason that since this supercomputer can process hashes at such a phenomenal rate that the "odds" of finding the key hash are bound to increase and therefore he/she would get all the credit for achieving the difficulty target. In other words, the faster one can process hashes the better the "odds" are towards solving a particular block. Hence, the whole rationale for pooling if you disregard the desire to earn crypto-coins.
Would you agree?
Thanks for your input!

Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux]
CryptoLego: I don't get it ... you have basically the same set up as me yet I get the dreaded "Unable to query CUDA driver" ... what have you installed that I have not?? 
Any suggestions would be great!

I noticed that, but I'm such a noob at this I was not sure what to suggest.
I did receive a similar error when I first ran cudaminer. I realized it was due to a syntax error. I was not using the -u and -p flags for username and password. I pulled a example from the server pool that I am using and I noticed the difference.
I'm not sure what else to suggest.
Hopefully, someone with more experience will be able to assist you.
