Topic: Mining while gaming on 7970 (Read 1622 times)
I can play some games and it works perfect while mining, but I've found that games like BIT.TRIP.RUNNER cause the rig to hang completely if you were mining on ANY card. I experienced that with 11.6, not sure if they fixed it in 12.1.
Excellent, thanks!
FYI, on my rig, changing -w 256 to 128 made no difference in my hashrate.
I'll try the -f 60 and see if that helps the lag a bit.

this, -v 1 -w 256 -f 60, is what I'm using and it has caused me no issues so far. I have one profile I use for when I'm gaming and one for when I am afk (just removed the -f 60 at the end).
I encountered the exact same issue with the same cards, how did you fix it? I was under the impression the 7970 distributes its power over graphics-demanding applications, the more opened while mining, the lesser the hash rate; on the other hand my 6850 just ran choppy graphic programs without losing much hash rate.
Share your fix with us gamer miners! 
So I'm trying to play some games and mine at the same time on my 7970, currently using -v 1 -w 256 -f 60 But my main issue is that its causing a huge drop in mining speed. (a much larger drop than what I used to see on my 6850. Does anyone know how to fix this?
EDIT:fixed it. (won't let me just delete post...)
