increase your framesleep and decrease aggression values. those determine how often new work is pushed into the GPU. If you have a higher framesleep and a lower aggression, the miner will put work into the gpu less frequently, which means that it's less busy for other things it should do(like display a video signal and stuff).

Hello, i tried Bitcoining the first time and i am totally new in this forum.
With the german energy price mining is only interesting to be used with my "sleeping" hardware.
Most of the time i didn't do hardwareintensive things on my PC. What i notices is that With my 6870 Card i have a idle consumption of 166W (Card underclocked and undervoltet) with a Mining of 100Mhash/s its only 9-10W more.
So the calculation looks good for me.
The Problem is, that the GPU gets unworkable slow on my pc (even a youtubevideo is not a joy). Is there a posibility to save up 10% of GPU power for the Windows VI?

Greetings from Berlin, Stefan
