Hi,
I ran clBitCrack.exe on Win10 and when program started generating keys my computer became really slow. CPU utilization was only 8% but everything was really sloooow (youtube, web, windows). I tested multiple -b  -t -p and the only difference was that it generated more keys. Is there any solution for this? Does this happen with better cards too (like GTX 1080ti)?

Ryzen 2700x +  Radeon HD 5700

Thanks!
Hi,

the program makes use of the GPU in order to generate many addresses (which is done by hashing the public key, and GPUs are better at hashing than CPUs) so it makes sense that it affects programms which make use of your GPU too..

Yea, it does use 99% of GPU. That sucks though, can't do anything else on my PC. Would be nice to have option for GPU usage %.
