Can someone help with intensity changes for ccminer

What I've tried: Go to Managed Software > CcMiner 2.2.4 found the line for the algo I wish to modify (Phi) entered --intensity=20 in the User defined Command Line argument I've also tried -i 20

Result, miner starts up, and within seconds the window disappears...

when looking at the logs, I can see that the default i 25 is in the command line argument, along with the values I input into the Managed Software section.


Help? please.

If you add it to the Managed Miner or to the Pool custom command lines does it override the default?

I haven't tried that, because that would apply it to any miner/algo. I just need it for one specific case


I've done this also. The problem is that you can not specify intensity for each algo for ccminer or every other miner.  
The window was closing in my case with the error "out of memory" for a part of the algos and i was able to view this with "Diagnostics" function from toolbar.

Having custom intensity settings specially for your GPU will increase your income by 30%. Default intensity values varies from one different chip to another but for example for Nvidia 1080 chip used on Gigabyte AORUS that is made from copper plate you will be able to get 20% more hash rate than a low end KFA2 1080 GPU that does not have copper pipes or copper plate, it has a small steel radiator.  So, ccminer does not know you have AORUS and it starts with minimal intensity settings for 1080, the same happens if you have water cooled gpu or the gpu rig submersed in mineral oil that offers huge overclocking advantage.

I believe this should be considered a priority by the developer of AM, instead of answering emails he should focus on fixing all issues with the software that are critical, because not taking an action and loosing money is as bad as AM crashing and being useles.

Have a great day.
