HI,
Does anyone know if there is a command i can use to limit how much of my gpu ethminer will actually use? because i currently have it running at 99% it causes my web browser to freeze and makes youtube videos etc tricky to watch. Im sure there was a way to limit the usage but cant seem to find out how to do it.
Try turning down the intensity or use another miner. I'm using sgminer-gm on my desktop and I'm browsing it and even playing videos games while mining, works pretty well.
I cant actually find what the command would be for turning down the intensity though. This is all i have in the help file.
Options:
Work farming mode:
-F,--farm <url> Put into mining farm mode with the work server at URL (default:
http://127.0.0.1:8545)
--farm-recheck <n> Leave n ms between checks for changed work (default: 500).
--no-precompute Don't precompute the next epoch's DAG.
Ethash verify mode:
-w,--check-pow <headerHash> <seedHash> <difficulty> <nonce> Check PoW credentials for validity.
Benchmarking mode:
-M,--benchmark Benchmark for mining and exit; use with --cpu and --opencl.
--benchmark-warmup <seconds> Set the duration of warmup for the benchmark tests (default: 3).
--benchmark-trial <seconds> Set the duration for each trial for the benchmark tests (default: 3).
--benchmark-trials <n> Set the duration of warmup for the benchmark tests (default: 5).
--phone-home <on/off> When benchmarking, publish results (default: on)
DAG creation mode:
-D,--create-dag <number> Create the DAG in preparation for mining on given block and exit.
Mining configuration:
-C,--cpu When mining, use the CPU.
-G,--opencl When mining use the GPU via OpenCL.
-U,--cuda When mining use the GPU via CUDA.
--opencl-platform <n> When mining using -G/--opencl use OpenCL platform n (default: 0).
--opencl-device <n> When mining using -G/--opencl use OpenCL device n (default: 0).
-t, --mining-threads <n> Limit number of CPU/GPU miners to n (default: all CPU threads / 1 GPU)
--gpu-mining-buffers <n> Number of GPU mining buffers (default: 2)
--gpu-batch-size <n> Mining batch size as a power of 2 (default: 18 => 262144)
--gpu-workgroup-size <n> Mining workgroup size (opencl) / threads per block (CUDA). Should be multiple of 8. (default: 128).
--gpu-devices <0 1 2 ..> Use selected gpu devices (CUDA only). (default: 0, max 8 GPUs)
--high-cpu-load Use this flag to get a tiny bit better performance at the cost of high CPU load.
General Options:
-v,--verbosity <0 - 9> Set the log verbosity from 0 to 9 (default:
.
-V,--version Show the version and exit.
-h,--help Show this help message and exit.
