    Would a scrypt-jane version of cudaminer that utilizes SLI make sense?

    SLI is strictly for graphics. It literally means "scan line interleave". Anything computation and CUDA related doesn't have scanlines, so the whole SLI concept is moot.

    CUDA sees two SLI'd cards as two separate CUDA devices. You can run two cudaminer instances, specifying -d 0 on the first one and -d 1 on the second one. Instant double hash rate.

    Heh ok, can't mine with that overclock! Just got myself an GTX 780 which is running nicely at 1250mhz core and currently 1600mhz memory, skynet bios etcetc. Discovered what you did earlier, power draw is off the charts hahah. It wants more even at 125% TDP and that's when the 100% is boosted to 300W+ on this bios >_> Did give me 555k/hash+ though! xD Will have to tweak it a bit  Grin

    these mod bioses are made for overvolting - and the stock cooler can't take it. You need water cooling or extra strong aftermarket heat sinks + fans

    I have SLI off for mining. Still having an issue with my first card not wanting to cooperate in Windows 7. The -d 1 card is hashing scrypt-jane just fine (-a scrypt-jane -d 1 -i 0 -l K14x1 -C 0). Cant seem to get the -d 0 card to do much even with separate instances for both.

    hi are there ways to stop cudaminer from using all your gpu power?
    like it can only use like 50 percent because I dont want to have an fully exhausted gpu all the time

    Am I doing it wrong on a GTX 660 2GB?

    -a scrypt-jane -d 1 -i 0 -l K10x1 -C 2

    Getting 0.48khash/s anything higher than 10x1 gives me the too much memory error.

    Don't use -C 2, use -C 0.

    Also, you should try K14x1 or if it gives you out of memory error (due to some background applications using VRAM) go for K13x1 for optimum performance.

    Yeah I followed your advice a few posts back and it worked for my second card. Running on igpu to try to free both cards up for mining. Anybody try that and make it work?

    Code:
    [2014-01-11 01:03:31] 1 miner threads started, using 'scrypt' algorithm.
    [2014-01-11 01:03:48] GPU #0: GeForce GTX 660 with compute capability 2.1

    that GTX 660 OEM card with 4GB video RAM is a rebranded Fermi part or what?

    Ah ye forgot to mention, it's an gigabyte WF, so the cooling isn't a problem. It's the power draw ^^ Way crazy. Gonna see if I can manage around 500khash/s at a less dangerous power draw

    You can dowclock the memory pretty heavily for scrypt and could try undervolt the GPU.

    well with K13x1 my 660 ti gets 1.33 khash on windows...I'm really tempted to throw another drive in my rig and put mint on it and see the difference but I've only got until Sunday before I gotta drive back to school so I'm just gonna be relaxing haha.

    Right now I'm in a pool. How would I solo mine Yacoin?...I wanna test my luck Tongue
    And as far as overclocking goes, memory OC if anything for jane? But doubt that will help much since its more mem capacity and the way windows is utilizing it correct?

    I use -l K4x4 -b 8192 -C 1 -i 0 and get 2.65 Khash but I also overclock...

    K5x2 with -b 8192 gives me 1.80 khash anything higher crashes the drivers
    What specifically do you focus your OC on? Memory?

    EDIT: Actually getting a few that dont validate with the cpu

    Did you get the full rig running Christian?
    Does -C do much or anything on the titan kernal with scrypt-jane?

    I would try linux. I had mint 16 and that was the one that died because it was using ubuntu 13.10. My ubuntu 12.04 LTS is rock solid. Compiles easy and runs well. Plus the huge spike in performance and it uses the memory better :-)

    I would use a decebt hard drive though. My yacoin wallet can take 15 minutes to load sometimes. And that is loading off a 550MB/s read and write ssd

    Only uses 1 thread to load though. Be nice if I could tell it to use all 8

    Anybody has a reference of how well any 7xx series 4GB card performs in scrypt-jane?

    My 780 3gb gets 3.77khash/s using ubuntu 12.04
    As gpu performance doesnt play a huge part I would say maybe a little more then my 780?

    What 700 series card are you looking at?

    Thinking about getting some 4GB 760's.

    I would say perhaps 4khash/s under linux if you can get it to use all the memory. I believe memory bandwidth is starting to become an issue with over 3gb cards.

    Im sure someone posted the result on their 760 the other day but I think it was a 2gb version.

    What overclocks are we all using to get better scrytp-jane performance? As clock speed isnt a big factor. And I dont see memory frewuency playing a big part as it is mainly down to how much it is given?

    If memory clock speeds do make a difference then a 760 could get a very good score. I would reccomend trying the cpu out aswell :-) as mine together get over 4.4khash/s
