Hello, I would like to mine bitcoin with only a certain % of my GPU, so it doesn't slow down my computer when I use it, and I set it back to 100% when I don't use it. Is there any miner software that allow you to do that ?

In most miner application you can use the -f attribute to slow it down.

I have forgot what it actually means, but for example when I'm gaming I let it run with -f 600, I still have 50% of my hashing power and it just works fine.

In poclm it looks looks this:

/DC:\Bitcoin\poclbm poclbm.exe --host=api2.bitcoin.cz --port=8332 --user=##### --pass=##### --device=0 -v -w128 -f 600

play around with the attribute until you get your desired outcome

Haven't used it, but there should be a field called additional attributes, settings or something like this, just put the -f X in there.

I don't think there are any options. I'll try using poclbm.exe tonight thanks for your help!

Good to know about this option. But anyway, GPU mining has an disadvantage, that if you use more GPU, the computer is very slow, if you use less GPU, the mining speed is too low.
