Hello everyone, nice to be back on the forums! I used to be an aggressive BTC miner, and a daily forums user. I had a problem at one point where I was in a public area with my laptop, and somehow I lost everything. It was kind of disappointing, so I closed all my accounts and quit for a while.
About five months later here I am; built a new computer and I'm back at it. Might as well jump right into my question,
When I start mining (I use GUIminer just because it's less of a headache) I get about 490-510Mh/s, which isn't too bad compared to my last mining rig. (I only got about 20

) But I do remember there were some flags I added that significantly increased my hash/s rate, but I forgot what they all were and what they meant. If someone could refresh my memory that would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I want to know what the long term effects of mining on my *brand new* graphics card is going to do...how much can it handle/will it wear and tear/will it void my warranty if something happens to it, etc.
Thanks in advance.
