limiting resources dose not work on amd cards #272

Hi,

when i start the thing (on windows Server 2019 x64 with amd card) it works, but it slowes down everything to less then one frame per second, so you cant even move your mouse cursor right to the x icon and close it to be able to get some response again. once i somehow get it to run in the background so that i still where able to do other things with the machine while it was running, but i cant reproduce it, maybe it was doing something else havy while exigently starting nanominer, like running a game or so...

So i was looking for a config to run it in a low priority/ high nice mode as i am familiar with cpu accessing proccesses on windows and linux, but i found no way to say, lets only use 85% of the whole available cycles/resources or lets be nice and low under a low priority so if something other comes along it will back up and only run if there nothing else with normal priority is to do...

So i was looking through the documentation (readme file) and set this option:

powerLimits=-20

which did nothing.

so please add a way to limit its usage of gpu recources so it can be used with standart operations, like word processing and browsing the web, while running, of cause not with playing high graphic required games...

Thanks a lot in advance!

PS: a key combination that shuts it down nicely after submitting the last share would be nice to...
