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 DEFAULT IS 8--
That is also the highest setting. For individual cards, the syntax is often comma or space separated
per card, depending on the mining software. The value for GPU 0 is first, then comma, then for GPU 1, then comma, then GPU2... and so forth. Claymore decided to use commas rather than spaces. If you use a negative value, you are setting a "Global Work Size", as was used in the original Ethminer. You could double, or perhaps quadruple that value, but I would not bother to use it. Single digits (integers) from 0 to 8 are much easier to type. --scryptr
