Just noticed that ckolivas commited a changeset a few hours ago with an update to the bitfury driver. Re-compiling from source, with those changes, made a difference in the numbers I was seeing in cgminer. Cgminer reported hash rate went from around 1.7-1.8Gh/s to around 2.2 - 2.5Gh/s.
I didn't think the changes would make such a difference, but there will be hardware errors reported now.
I'm not on Windows so I can't try that - checked out what's on git right now and didn't seem to make much difference (except now I am getting HW errors).
do you guys have multiple pools set up in your miner, so if one goes down you keep on mining?
looks like cgminer supports multiple pools but i have not explored this functionality.

The NSA undoubtedly has this kind of processing power already.
I suspect that a good portion of the total network hashing power is from governments and large corporations with the resources to throw at this kind of thing.

just compiled it and i'm running it on gtx680, CUDA still new to me, playing with parameters. Unfortunately I don't have several thousand $ for a K20

maybe you should read the error message. it looks like it might be telling you what is wrong.

Here's what I'd try
- make sure X is using both cards - upgrade to latest cgminer - figure out cgminer command-line args to disable one GPU, try running, disable other GPU, try running, see what happens, may be informative. (-d flag)

i mine with cgminer
I use multibit and bitcoin-qt for wallets although I'm not sure which I like more. bitcoin-qt uses a lot of space on my disk.
multibit has the USD exchange rate displayed on it (from MtGox) which is nice, plus it syncs up to the network quicker and uses less disk space.

I'm gonna give it a try on a GTX680 under Linux later today or tomorrow and post my results.
