Title: [nvm]Way to utilize only 80% GPU mining?
Post by: pekv2 on July 23, 2011, 02:10:01 AM
Using GUIMiner, mining with Poclbm. 5830.

Is there a flag or anyway to utilize a certain percentage of the gpu? Say like 80% or 90%?

Q: My temperatures are too high, can I throttle the GPU so it runs slower but cooler?
A: If you are mining using OpenCL you can use the -s flag a value such as 0.01 in order to force the GPU to sleep for 0.01 seconds in between runs. Increase or decrease this value until you have the desired GPU utilization.

Code:
-s 0.001
Gives me want I need atm, 81% usage.
