aah ok that makes sense. Really appreciate the help

ok so i am guessing that kind of answers my question? the 650 kH/s is the max speed of my GPU? because my GPU is sitting at like 2% utilization

see this isnt what im looking for by any means. its not helpful what so ever. i stated above that im doing this trying to learn how it works to better know what to invest in for the future. so back to the task at hand.

Why is my card only putting out like 650 kH/s? seems quite low unless im misunderstanding this.

Current command im running is this

ccminer-x64.exe -a scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.aikapool.com:7915 -u *** -p ***
pause

ofcourse the user and pass are hidden

I know this has probably been asked many times before but i sadly have not been able to find anything on this.

I have a CCminer setup with my GTX 1080. Its not the most efficient by any means but i am just trying to learn how to set this up.
I am seeing 575 kh/s and thats just garbage it seems. my task manager says nothing is using my GPU at all so im confused as to if its mining that little of an amount because im not allocating enough to it? or is that just the speed this card would run at?

Really appreciate any help! thank you!
