- f 100 is considered optimal on a non-gaming computer, miner running in background.
- f 30 is default

Worked like a charm 
thank you!
thank you!
It should just yield it but if it don't you can try messing with the -s or -f flags.
Q: My temperatures are too high, can I throttle the GPU so it runs slower but cooler?
A: If you are mining using OpenCL you can use the -s flag a value such as 0.01 in order to force the GPU to sleep for 0.01 seconds in between runs. Increase or decrease this value until you have the desired GPU utilization.
Q: Can I connect to more than one pool with the same GPU? For example have a main pool, and a backup pool in case the main one goes down?
A: Yes, you can use the -f flag for this. A value of -f60 or higher in the backup pool's miner will cause it to yield most of the GPU power to miners with a lower f value (default is 30).

As the topic says, I need to spare some GPU power to other applications running, having like 80% focused on the GUIminer and 20% on the rest would be nice. Is there such an option?

EDIT: Using a Radeon 7770 if it makes a difference.
