Hey
I have quite a few boxes with gpu which are used for transcoding, on average I would like to throw 40% of gpu and ~1Gb of VRAM for some mining,
So far I found that x16r (ravencoin) is pretty good from vram usage perspective but even if i set intensity to 0 i.e. CryptoDredge is still using ~98% GPU, tried t-rex it ignores intensity completely.
Any ideas on what path should I take here?
I'm ok

Thanks
weather you specify the intensity or not
it is definitely going to consume that much percentage of gpu but not the graphical part but the workload part
check in hwinfo for the proper stats

Try to set it to intensity 1 and use --intensity=1 argument instead of -i 1.

The easiest way would be to get another GPU.
Transcode on device 0, Mining on device 1
