I have an XFX 5850 Black Edition (minimally oc'd from factory). It works great for mining but my framerates in game suffer when mining. Is there any way to throttle back the aggression when a certain executable is launched or after a certain amount of cpu utilization (which could be indicative of a game loading)?
Thanks for any info.
Depending on which miner you use, you can set the aggressiveness to a lower value. e.g. on poclbm setting -f 100 would make the miner return control once every 10ms so you will get a theoretical upper limit of 100 fps, which should be sufficient for games.
