what is the default intensity for Lyra2rev2 on a 980 ti??
The default intensity is  -X 18. You can test with -X 30. Might be faster?
@Sp ...Is this  -X  intensity taking the place of over clocking?  thx

No overclocking. The intensity parameter adjusts the size of the number of hashes that are stored in memory.
You can verify this by running gpu-z and observe the allocated memory.

The -X intensity is linear growth of the memory buffer. The -i is exponential.
So if I set no overclocking and by using the  -X and -i parameters I get a higher hash rate.... no overclocking needed?  Or, theses parameters add extra hashrate and I can overclock getting even higher hashrate?

setting the intensity is a matter of using the gpu resources better.
overclocking works on top of it.
Ok thx pallas. And how do I do that with mixed cards.  750ti  an 980ti in one bat file with the -X parameter.

If I am not mistaking - I believe it goes like this - -X 18,18,15,20,18 (where the placement of the intensity number refers to your GPU number)  So GPU 0,1,2,3,4 in a (5) card system?  Correct me if I am wrong please.
Thx
So if I use the -X  and -i on 3 cards it would look like this.

-d 0,1,2 -i 16,0,0  -X 18,30,30

Device 0 is the one I use for the graphics on this computer and the other 2, on this computer not using for graphics , I like to get the best hashrate.
Is this correct and since -X 18 is default?
thx

EDIT: I tried it on my 980ti that's in a p2 state and the -X 18 works and -X 20 works but -X 22 ran out of memory. So I'll not use the -X parameter  at all and no real improvment.
