Title: GTX560Ti Zotac (lower usage needed)
Post by: dastingo on June 14, 2014, 11:02:55 AM
Hello people!
This is my first post here :)

I do have some knowledge about BTC and altcoins, but I cannot understand at all how to mine it!
I do have Cudaminer, but I have overheating problems (99celsius, it's sick and unsafe). Is it possible to force my GPU to mine on let's say 50% usage? I don't mind for the amount and I know that thic GPU sucks for mining, but... I just want to mine 50% with what I've got.

I'll be grateful for feedback :)

Add "-i 1" to your .bat file.  What it does is to free some bandwidth for the system, and as a result the card should get a little cooler.

--interactive    [-i] list of flags (0 or 1) to enable interactive desktop performance on individual cards. Use this to remove lag at the cost of some hashing performance.  Do not use large launch configs for devices that shall run in interactive mode - it's best to use autotune!
