using -H 1 -i 0 -C 1 -D -l K14x16 with my 660ti. Its stable but the numbers dont look right and I still cant get my max overclock with the updated version of cudaminer. Would be nice if someone knew anything about that but apparently my buddy and I are the only ones with this issue.

Heres proof...

Your numbers are better than my 670, everything looks gravy to me so long as you are intending to push your card and sacrifice a little of it's lifespan.

Well thats what I was saying in a post earlier, since the update of 12/18 my gpu is now taking 103%+ power when it used to sit nicely at 95%
And if i up my voltages to where they normally are for stable gaming my core speed drops and so does my hashrate. So really right now these settings will instantly crash with any game or anything intense. Thats because my voltage is so low because I wanna keep my clock speed high for mining, even though it doesnt get nearly as high as it used to. As for lifespan, this is a MSI Power Edition card so I'm confident with the integrity however I don't understand how my power usage shot up like by a full 10% after 12/18 with the exact same settings I was using in 12/10.

EDIT: Also, what pool are you using because I was seeing the same results all yesterday. I was getting just chunks of stales in 5-10 when normally I'm at a 99% valid yesterday was like at 96%.

I'm assuming that changes made to the most recent version caused/allowed our cards to reach the full TDP that we have set. Before, I could set my power target to 140% and I would only use about 110% under 99% GPU load. Now that my hashrate has jumped up, so has the TDP usage and temps as well. I just sort of assumed that this was normal and that this build allowed our cards to run open throttle. I'd be pleasantly surprised if something could be changed that brought power consumption down while retaining the current performance.
