Guys, is there a definite reference somewhere about what exactly you can set "-dcri" to?  Intensity 5-9 doesn't seem to make much difference for me as far as the output effective in MHash/sec, anyway.

I remember seeing "-dcri 30" somewhere, but I can't put my finger on it.  Seems way out of what I remember.

I am trying "-dcri 12" right now, just to see if it really moves the Mhash/sec

See the Readme.txt file.

The highest value for the "-dcri" switch is 100.  Typically the miner uses 30 by default.
Maybe, but for "-ethi" (I mistyped the OG message, and added "or '-ethi" later), it's 16 (for nVidia cards, at least).  If you try something higher than that, it displays a message that "16 is the highest" (and 8 is default - I finally found it in the "README" file).


As others above have pointed out, you can adjust the intensity on the fly in either direction by using the (+) or (–) keys on your numpad.
Actually, no - you can't.  Only works on AMD-based GPUs, not at all for nVidia even if you turn on "-asm 1" as it suggests when you try it with only nVidia cards.

You can use + and - to adjust dual mining intensity on the fly on ANY GPU. Nvidia just don't have ASM kernels for mining, so they are pretty poor dual miners. They were poor in comparison before ASM was used to dual mining anyway, and Nvidia only likes to support CUDA so I don't see it changing.

You can set -dcri higher than 100, I have set it to several hundred when testing dual mining on certain cards with certain algorithms. It's a bit pointless though except on certain Nvidia cards.
