Title: Is it possible to get bitcoins to use like 95% of your GPU?
Post by: alishawkat on April 17, 2011, 10:49:08 PM
Hi guys, I'm trying to run Flash videos while doing bitcoins but it crashes everytime. Any advice on what to do? Is it possible to get bitcoins to run at 97% percent instead of 100%?


Thanks

If you are using poclbm, try setting the -f flag to something high like -f 60 or -f 120.

if flash crashes your card is unstable.

if it is overclocked you have pushed it too far. Try installing 3dmark06 and make it loop the two first test 5-10 times and see if that crashes. If it does you have to lower the clocks

Sounds about right FnuGk.
Also could be running too hot.
My 5870's seem to run about 97% util on their own and flash runs no problem.
I do notice that the hash rate on one card will drop by about half running when flash videos though.

just turn off hardware acceleration in the flash settings and that won't happen anymore.

yes, turn off the flash hardware accelerator will solve it.
