Yeah, you're doing the right thing with Guiminer by having "-f 60" on the end. I do that on my Win7 machine and can watch videos and play games with no problems while mining (although at a 30% reduced hash rate).

For Litecoin mining on Windows, use ScryptMiner and take the threads down to less that the number of cores on your CPU. On my Win7 box, I can't run Guiminer for BTC and also run ScryptMiner for LTC unless the thread count = 1, and that's not worth it for me. If I try a higher thread count, my heat alarm on the CPU goes off.

You can build a Linux box (I use Xubuntu) just for mining fairly inexpensively, especially since you can use a USB drive in place of a HD.

On some algo,s (although at a 30% reduced hash rate). on my-gro it will go up it buy 3000% with high anuff dif my old con-fig -u worker.1 -p d=300 -f 1000 and i used d=1000 -f 300 / if i usd -m for it i will put p d=1000 -m 0.003.

Wrong area folks - you are dealing with ALTCOINS

edit: got moved from BTC area to here where it belongs

How can I use my computer while mining with cgminer?

I'm currently mining Bitcoins and Litecoins, (AMD 5850)
for Bitcoins I use 'GUIMiner' using 'OpenCL miner',
for Litecoins I use 'GUIMiner-scrypt' using 'cgminer'.

Now, for Bitcoins I just add the flags "-v -w128 -f 60" and it works extremely fast even when I play BF3 and nothing shatters (If I play heavy graphics games it will go down to ~150Mha/s tops, and when I finish playing it jumps back to ~300Mah/s), the computer works flawlessly,

but for Litecoins whenever I use the flag "-I d" it goes down to 10% of it's power (from 325Kha/s to 30-20Kha/s) even when I just look at the computer!

So again, my question is, is there any way to have the same experience with performance while using the computer with cgminer?
Or, alternatively, is there anyway I can mine Litecoins with GPU, using the computer at the same time and still have maximum performance as I just demonstrated that I have with OpenCL miner?

thanks for the help, hope I gave all the details necessary!

April 01, 2013 you posted that is good you are one of the orig miners are you still in the game ? It is getting good for gpu mining

each alog has dif programing ,and pool program also , like two pools same algo same coin and one will boot you the next will mine it. One will mine you at 20 mh/s the nest will put you at 60 mh/s ( they only use %10 of your gpu to mine and pool operators gov,n the diff of the coin not the blockchain the devs and pool operators do it on purpose ). with my mod i mine at 1th/s and not 60 mh/s for . i have 10 1080 ti,s and pools if i let set diff make me $6.00 a day with my mod i get $30 to $1000 a day ....( do not use in less you like mess up it takes alot of bad share to find the correct speed ) ps Uncle Scrooge i am sorry but i did make 40 people alot of btc intill you killed -f usage and now they do not mine with you ... and thank you for letting me find the 900 + shield blocks on my-gro , you get a gpu coin and i will mine for you ,but you keep the pool for asic only and that is wrong .
