Title: Ubuntu integrated graphics slow while mining on nvidia card Post by: cpmcgrat on December 15, 2017, 07:59:17 PM Applications lag when background GPU mining on Ubuntu 16.04 (running graphics through integrated graphics).
I have 1x 1070 in my computer which I set to mining while my screens are plugged into integrated graphics. However, while the GPU mining, all of the graphical applications I'm running (mostly firefox) slow down drastically. The rest of the specs are: Intel i5-7400 16GB DDR4 2800 Ram 32GB Swap 256GB SSD: /, /boot, EFI 1TB HDD: /home Corsair HX1200 PSU Gigabyte Z170X Mobo Any idea how to solve this? I can see in htop that I have plenty of processor/memory overhead to theoretically deal with the load.

I dont know the specifics but the simplest solution is to switch to another web browser. Try using Chromium. Works well for me. ;)
