NVidia GPU mining less profitable than AMD GPU.

I found that when I started to mine 24/7 I simply moved to building a dedicated miner.  If this is your case then that route would be better, but you are currently using your computer so turning down the aggression is probably a easier and cheaper solution.  My friend who also mines with me turns off his miner when he is using his computer and turns it back on when not in use.  I have a modified guiminer that will turn on and off the miner based on user interaction so that streamlines it further.
