is there no way to limit peak saturation of GPU ? [preferably with "10%" step]  :/
cuz default uncomfortable in some configurations[miners can't watch video, use videoconferencing, watch youtube and do rest nonsense, usual for people :-] and ability to tweak that upon needs could be cool/handy, IMO :-)

If you're using OpenCL for GPU mining (the default), there are two options for you. The -f flag decreases the minor priority, try a value like -f60 or higher and see if that lets other processes run. If that doesn't give acceptable performance try the -s flag with a value like -s0.01 or higher which forces the miner to sleep in between runs.

Let me know if this works for you or not

I'm new . Installed this and got it working but my hash seems really low compared to others in this forum (searching for 20 mins). I've got an nvidia 460 and I'm running about 40-50 mhash/s. I see people with this card or a 470 getting well over 100.

Did I do anything wrong? I tried some -v -w flags but it didn't do much. How do I fix this?

Thanks!

Donated, thank you! Keep up the great work.

Wil be great to put support for Phoenix miner too, cose it become anough popular.
Phoenix miner seems to be well supported and flexible.
Plus it have more advanced network code (usefull for users with connection issues).
Best regards.

PS: I am donated twice (summory  2.12 BTC) and will continue that way.

the 470 has about 1/3 more stream processors and runs at a much higher clock speed, so it will yield a bunch more hashes.

a single 460 should yield about 50 Mhash/s.

the people reporting 100+ Mhash/s with your card are running two of them.

What are the best flag settings for a 6990?

Hello,

I saw a comment earlier that another individual was having problems with GUIMiner connecting to a pool. I am also having this problem...was there a solution that I missed?

So far I have checked my UID and PW settings, and have tried connecting to two different pools (slush's and BTCMine).

I'm not getting any errors, just stuck at Connecting.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated in troubleshooting this.

Thanks in advance.

[Basiley]

thanks, "-f 48 .." - "-f 55" range is okay in my case, but im put it into "-f 70"[OS behave safer, w/o mining impact(only about 1.2% drop)].
MyndkryM saw similar behavior with wrong auth data in "e-mail" field[not password], try check you Id/password.

What I don't understand:
I have a 5770 and I can mine while watching HD video, youtube etc.

A friend of mine has a 6950, had the latest GUIMiner running and when he clicked a youtube video he got a hard freeze and had to reboot.

Is there anything one can do?

Get right click on the youtube video screen, and Disable hardware acceleration on the flash player options

Hi. A friend of mine have a problem.

He have an ATI i sold, and windows 7 32 bits.

When he tries to start miner (all packets on bitcoin updated) ALWAYS get: "Starting..." and nothing happens.

He is register on deepbit, all data is correct, but can´t start to mining, always status is "Starting..."

Any sugesstions???

Thanks

[Robmonster]

Can someone please help me get the -s option working?  Every time I add the option -s0.01 to the Extra Flags section and try to start GUIminer.exe runs at 25% cpu ( 1 core of my quad core system) and the miner doesn't start.

I'd like to do something to help reduce the heat output of my card while mining and I understood the -s option would help with that, effectively throttling the miner.

*EDIT* I realised I did not have the most recent version installed...

I want to put up a GUI Phoenix Bounty..Anybody wanna chip in with me???

Yes, i am ready. But i know zero about bounty stuff. What i have to do exactly?
I want GUI for phatk

[FRanz33]

uh i dunno. say we'll do then send it...

[Dobrodav]

I am nor reach, but adding Phoenix support will definely force me to send 1 btc.
But there is a problem... LOL. I am will send it anyway

This crashes my computer when I tell it to stop mining.  I have an Nvidia 550gtx ti card.  It makes my computer reboot itself when I click "Stop mining", does it every time.
