Maybe updating your drivers will solve the problem.

I was using lower case the not higher. Higher is giving me 300khash/s but I do have a movie playing :-)

Never been part of a coin relaunch so I don't know how it works

cudaminer.exe --algo=scrypt:2048 -d 1 -i 0 -l t12x20 -o 127.0.0.1:8108 -O 1:x


gives me 166 kh/s, what clock is your 780 running at?
Im using the newest version of cudaminer 2014-02-28
Core clock is 1280Mhz and Memory is +250Mhz

Hmm 173khash/so is all I can get out of my 780

My 780 is getting 345khash/s with this launch config
cudaminer.exe --algo=scrypt:2048 -D -i 0 -l T12x20 -o 127.0.0.1:15522 -O user:pass

I can check my 780 on pci 3 x16 if you guys want those results
That would help tremendously. What kind of risers do you have? Can you try a 16x to 16x riser or even a 1x to 16x in that PCI-E 3.0 versus the card being put into the slot directly? Thanks.

I missed the riser part sorry. Would test it but it means ripping my water cooler apart :-(
Ah, no worries. Would still be curious if 3.0 slots yield any benefit versus 2.0 slots for cudaminer if there was any way you had a means of doing that without messing up the water cooling.

While I dont have any risers laying around my motherboard has PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot running at x2 and a heavily overclocked GTX 780.
Here is my config for my GTX 780: cudaminer.exe -q -i 0 -m 0 -H 2 -l T12x24
PCI-E 3.0 x16: ~715Khash/s  with a bus usage of ~13%
PCI-E 2.0 x16(x2): ~685Khash/s with a bus usage of ~40-50% (I forgot the exact number)

If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
I tried your launch config on my 780's, but I'm only getting 40Kh/s on scrypt.
That's odd, even a stock GTX 780 should get ~600Kh/s. Im sure everyone here would agree that -q -i 0 -m 0 -H 2 -l T12x24 is the most optimal scrypt launch config for a GTX 780. Make sure you have SLI disabled when your mining. The last time I checked, sometime around December, cudaminer doesnt work when SLI is enabled.

Hey guys,
  Am new here, and new to mining with Nvidia cards.  I've been following this thread for the past week, finally got my hands on a few of the 750Ti cards last night.  Picked up 3 different brands, but have only had a chance to tinker with the MSI twin frozr (no pcie plug) so far.  I am definitely no expert, and am learning cudaminer as I go, but wanted to share my experience so far:

  I've only run one card at a time so far.  Biostar H81S2 mobo, 4gb ram 750w psu.   and mostly using auto-tune, as I dont understand the blocks and warps yet..
System idle = 42.2W (per killawatt meter)
gpu = +0, mem= +0, load @99% = 114W.  hashrate 268 kh/s T5x19
gpu = +0, mem +300, hashrate 252kh/s (T230x1.  this may have been a bad setting by auto-tune, i'm not sure.  i initally was trying gpu and mem clocks others were reporting, and was getting alot of instant artifacting, or 'rapid scrolling' error. so i left it at that, and moved on to doing the TDP raising bios mod.

  With TDP bios mod:

gpu = +0, mem= +0, hashrate 272khs, T10x24, gpu utilization 75% (?), and system load increased to 124W (from 114W)
gpu = +0, mem= +300, hashrate 291khs, T10x24, system load = 130Watts.

  This last setting was stable for 6+ hrs while I was at work today.  I have tried, briefly, with higher gpu and mem clocks, and highest i've hit was ~322khs. but i need to keep testing for stability, as i was getting errors along the way.  Interestingly, the bios mod has definitely increased power draw, and has allowed near 300khs with a modest +300 mem overclock.  I have seen others on this thread with much higher clocks at this speed.  Christian, are you using a modified bios on your 750 Ti?  I feel there is more there.  Also, after the bios mod, the power % on Precision X drops to 75%.  I dont understand this, or if it may be reporting it incorrectly.
   I'll continue seeing how far i can push this card.  I am concerned about the scalability issues others are having, and will assess this as well, when i have time to add other cards (hopefully tonight).  Will keep you guys posted on my findings. 
Precision X is reporting % power correctly. It is just that the bois mod changed what is considered 100% power.

On a side note, other then helix coin, what coins do you guys recommend mining? Im getting tired of mining scrypt coins with my GTX 780 and would like to try mining a coin with a different algorithm.
