In my personal experience, I get a fairly small drop in mining performance(just 1-2%), and a steady stream if I'm watching it fullscreen. However if I have it as not the primary window, I will experience some stuttering. This is however with running my miners at max intensity.

You will know for sure if you try it Wink
For me it worked even with one gpu and dual-mining so you should be fine.

Watching netflix and gpu mining together on the same computer, will it affect the mining performance? Noob question I know, just need some confirmations Smiley

Using GPU for mining and CPU for watching theoretically should not have any relation.
But it's a really bad idea to use a personal computer for 24 hour mining.
Nah, it's a mining rig. I'll just hook up a screen, and stream netflix on the side is what I meant.

It will have some effect but probably not too significant. What takes the most GPU is advanced upscaling, so if you're really intent on minimizing impact, keep the upscaling settings low.

Mining and streaming video works great in my experience. As long as you have a decent computer it shouldn't be an issue performance wise. I frequently stream music or video while mining on my personal computer.
