Topic: Mining/Gaming at same time? [CGminer][6850 HD Radeon] (Read 1041 times)
I have a 6950 and use Guiminer. I was able to play bioshock infinite the other night and mine with no issues, guiminer simply autoscaled my mining back to 150 Mhash/s and the game ran smoothly. My card was around 70 degrees C though I have a custom cooler. And I've pushed this thing to 80+ degrees with no issues so I'd say there should be no issues, as long as you either manually scale your mining back or let the miner do it for you. On another note, WoW is much less graphically intensive than bioshock so I'd say you can do more than 150 while gaming, albeit it is a slower card so maybe not...

it will be incredibly lagy and most likely unplayable. If you had a 7970 or a 7990 you might be able to get away with it
Won't it be super laggy??

What intensity level should I set if I wanted to play World of Warcraft and mine with CGminer at the same time on my GPU? Without putting the GPU at too much risk. I intend on playing the game on medium video card settings.
I got a 6850 Radeon HD Sapphire.
