If you are using "auto" settings for your cudaminer, you might try -H 1 -i 0 -C 1 -l F14x16 -m 1. It is what I've been using on my 580 gtx. It may squeeze out a few extra khash for you
Increased my hashrate by about 75 kh/s thanks! 
Doing both is definitely doable.
You can't use cuda miner though on the CPU. You'll have to use something like pool's miner. If you have a nice CPU there are some things to be cautious about.
1. You'll be running CPU and GPU at 100% more than likely which if your PSU can't support will cause it to blow.
- Games never use both at 100% so it will really stress the system
2. You'll be outputting a lot more heat. So things can get really toasty in a case.
3. You won't get much more hash/sec with cpu mining. As a benchmark I could only get around 90kh/s using an intel i7 4770k, and about the same with an i7 3930k
- So you might be using more power than it's worth.
Thanks for the info. The i7 is a better chip than mine so it's probably not worth CPU mining I guess. You can't use cuda miner though on the CPU. You'll have to use something like pool's miner. If you have a nice CPU there are some things to be cautious about.

I'm very new to mining. I've just started using cudaminer to mine some dogecoin with my gtx 560 and its not going as fast as i'd like. I do have a pretty good processor though and was wondering if I could possibly mine with both simultaneously. Any help is appreciated greatly.
