Can someone explain to me how to lower the % of GPU being used? My computer is very slow when mining and would like it to be somewhat functional.

Would really appreciate some help.

Thanks Cheesy

GPU utilization shouldn't make your computer slow unless the applications you are running need the GPU (games, for example).

By default, the xmr.conf enables CPU mining as well, which is generally very inefficient depending on your CPU. If you disable CPU mining in the xmr.conf, then your computer will run faster and will use much less energy and create less heat.

To disable CPU mining, set the "threads" value to 0 (zero) for the "-1" device, like this:

"index": -1,
               "threads": 0,
               "rawintensity": 16,
               "worksize": 16
