I am a micro miner, one GPU card in my desktop computer, and no programmer, just an "end consumer". I am using the precompiled windows 64 version of ccminer 2.2.2 from GitHub. The miner works, but I am unable to increase the intensity level when scrypt mining. No matter what intensity I set in the command line using the -i function, no matter where in the command line I put the -i function, and even though it initially assigns more threads, it then reverts to a different (?default) intensity a few lines down. My gpu doesn't even warm up, and the hash rate is low. Rather than overclocking my GPU, I would prefer to increase the intensity so that it works harder. How do I get it to actually run with the intensity settings I want? This is what I see:

D:\ccminer-x64-2.2.2-cuda9>ccminer-x64 -a scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us.multipool.us:XXX -u theXXX.1 -p XXX -i 14.99

I XXX'd out the actual pool, worker name, password, but you can see where I attempted to set the intensity to 14.99 in the command line, was assigned extra threads, then lower down the intensity was changed to 12.0313 with only a fraction of the threads. I have also tried with setting the T levels myself in advance, so that the auto-tuning does not occur, same result. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Did you ever find a resolution on this? I'm running into the same issue with 2.2.2. -i flag doesn't seem to hold and you can't shut off autotune in the Windows version.
