After updating my gpu won't reach its max overclock like it used to on the older config.
Its a MSI 660 ti PE and I had a +80 offset on the core clock with afterburner and it reaches 1256 mhz all the time and it has since i dialed in the overclock when I got the card. I know the card isnt going bad for sure since this only happens when I'm mining with the 12/18 version. With the same settings as before, I was mining at the consistent rate of 220 khash/s @ 1256 mhz and 92% TDP power limit. Now with 12/18, I'm mining at a rate of 291 khash/s but only at 1176/1133 mhz (it bounces between the two every second) and at a 100-110% TDP. Of course, the update was a very very nice boost but I wanna be able to run at my normal overclocking setting. Even with stock card settings I'm now running at 100+% TDP when before the update stock settings were around 75% TDP. Just seems weird and I've tried tweaking the voltages and funny enough if I up my voltage to my gpu core my clock speed drops...but if I lower the voltage the clock speed raises back up and doesnt quite reach the normal 1256 but gets close. Any ideas?

These are my mining configs

-H 1 -i 0 -C 1 -D -l K14x8

Currently getting 292-295 khash but I wanna break 300

EDIT: temps are perfectly fine hovering between 60-65C depending if I have the door open to the rest of the house and ambient temp is 23C/73F

Its definitely a bit better with -H 2
There is about a 30KH/s difference.

Full config is -H 1 -i 0 -m 1 -l K14x14 x64 exe, win 7, 331.93 drivers. I'm guessing you haven't overclocked your card either, that card boosts to 1280~1300mhz core, memory sits at around 3500mhz.

Ran it some more on my 580 too, heat is way crazy now, performance is the same as 12-10 build, but where it stopped at around 76C there, it now goes up to 84 and beyond :/ Worse than furmark haha. Cooled with an accelero xtreme II at 100%, so a 10C increase is quite a lot.

If you guys could opvote the story "NVidia Kepler mining improvements now in CudaMiner - have fun!" in the litecoinmining subreddit, that would be great.

This needs some visibility. Click on meme to follow through to this story.

You're way in AMD turf now.

Noted. I will see what I can do to get back to previous heat emissions.

NICE! I'm at 302 now with that config, but still not getting my max overclock like I normally am

will have that in next version....

I just wanted to chime in here, I have a gtx770 that went from 220-230 to 360-370 using -l auto. Will mess around with it later to see if I can get it higher.

So great! Thanks!
