Anyone have experience with altering the ETH intensity?


-ethi   Ethereum intensity. Default value is 8, you can decrease this value if you don't want Windows to freeze or if you have problems with stability. The most low GPU load is "-ethi 0".
   Also "-ethi" now can set intensity for every card individually, for example "-ethi 1,8,6".
   You can also specify negative values, for example, "-ethi -8192", it exactly means "global work size" parameter which is used in official miner.


I understand that default is "8", and I also see that "0" is the lowest, but it does not mention the highest setting. I suppose that's when your system crashes or becomes unusable?

Is there a benefit to changing from default in your experiences?

The example above which discusses setting intensity for every card individually ("-ethi 1,8,6") --- Is the first number the desired intensity, and it applies that to cards 8 and 6? I just need a little clarification on that point.

THANKS
The benefit is you increase your mining speed
But I noticed not every card respond the same way
So you should increase it 1 card at a time and see the improvement and make sure its stable
Then go card 2 and 3 etc
you can do all at the same time, but you might have all card at intensity let say 4 cause the weakess card crash above that, while some of your other cards can be increased more.
