I believe most have said you cannot 'SLI' two cards together and mine with them, so may want to work that into the equation or check into it further.

I believe the computer only sees SLI'd cards as a single unit, so only the first one would mine. I haven't done it or even tried, but I swear I read that someplace.

Good luck!

You are right. Sli is useless for mining. Hence why we use 750Ti's which can not do sli.
Not the only reason but i had to mention it

ooo and for anyone interested, i just boosted my MSI GTX 750Ti's to 1.4GHz and their running stable mining groestl.
Right now the increase from 1.3GHz to 1.4GHz and made a large improvement from
3.1MH/s to 3.4MH/s, all with an increased power load of 2W!

so to state, each of my cards now considers 2w more power, however produces almost 300khash/s more. So a 9% improvement for a 2% power increase. And the shares being submitted seem to be more stable aswell. If it gives stability issues i will be sure to let you all know. Performance with the new groestl release when its out will be very interesting. i wonder if overclocks will keep.

Thats a question actually, have you noticed an increase/decrease in TDP under the un-released groestl code? As if you havent, overclocks should remain good, and if you see triple performance, my overclock could get triple benefit (0.9MH/s) on each card

wow thanks... i didn't know that Smiley
guess i'll just get 750/Ti then

looks like its best card to mine efficiently for now

Personally i think you would be better to spend the extra £10 or so and get the Ti, as it will get more performance. How much more i am unsure

What MOST people can expect:
750 = 260khs

750ti = 300khs

I can likely go more on the 750s, but my 750ti's seem to max at about 305-310 now with the newest cudaminer and high overclocks.  Previously I was only able to get 288-295 consistently.

1,560khs for a 6x750 rig at about $720 in gpus (ones i got were $120)

1,800khs for a 6x750Ti rig at about $900 in gpus (@$150, mine were $165 on average though, so $990)

**Also keep in mind the 750s are supposed to use less power and I've never tried modifying the bios at all**

ok, thank you
currently the price at my place, 750 is $140 is, 750 Ti is $170ish

I'm hoping to get GTX 760 second hand for around $210 and SLI'd with my gaming rig (I get ~310kh/s with my 760) but the power usage won't decrease much from 5850+6670 combo

hi,

anyone can compare how much khash/s for GTX 750 Ti and non-Ti on LTC?
sorry, i can't find any references in a few pages back

currently one of my mining PC is using HD 5850 and HD 6670 to mine scrypt based coin (LTC, Doge, etc).
i get 300-350 kh/s for 5850 and 100 kh/s for 6670 with little overclock
but i was thinking to sell both card and change it to single GTX 750/Ti to save electricity

any thoughts?
Thank You Smiley

On your Config take a alook at reducing the "SMX" number:

ex. -l K7x32

You can try dropping the 7 to something lower. This can sometimes help. Some games just can't really deal well with sharing gfx. BF4 or BF3 are a great example... my Titan has more then enough power to play them but not with CUDAMiner running at even super low settings. While League of Legends I can just use my normal config and switch it to  -i 0 and boom frame rate loss but well within playable.

Thanks! Smiley
but not working Sad
still got 10-20 fps using K1x32 (i use K6x32 as default)
reducing it to K1x16 makes no difference in fps too

hello, newbie here
i'm using cudaminer to mine LTC using my GTX 760 and so far no problem

however i just bought Bioshock Infinite and want to play it
i'm using -i 1 as option, but the game only ran @ 10-20 fps

is there any other option i can use to increase my fps?
or telling cudaminer to "only use remaining GPU power"? because Bioshock only use 50% GPU power to maintain 60 fps
i'm hoping to use remaining 50% to mine coins Smiley

Thank you Smiley
