It is since the last version.

Download Version 06/14 and go on [File] -> New miner -> phoenix miner
You can find good flags for all cards here : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

With the flag AGRESSION you can control how much computing power is taken, higher numbers, more cpu usage, more lags on the Desktop, but higher MH rates.

If you use phoenix, try to set AGGRESSION=9 or lower, with higher Numbers over 9, CPU usage grows.

Hey all, just installed another 5770 (already have one), and I started back up guiminer and had a couple of my miners take the new card, and all a sudden my CPU spiked to 100%.  I can't seem to bring it back down short of using the -s flag, but then my GPUs take a hit. Sad
 
so right now I have a happy medium of -s0.005 until I can find a solution.  Thanks!
