Limit GPU usage

[hoshmandent]

How do I limit GPU usage while mining ETH with T-Rex miner?

for example if I want to use 60% of the GPU while mining, is There a way to limit the usage?

There's no direct control, but you can try low intensity values, for example -i 14

You can just set a lower power value on the gpu. I use Afterburner to find where the power limit is for my settings. Then I know the more I reduce it from that value, the more it will hit the Power limiter when I want to limit the GPU mining.

Ohh, OK

Thank you guys so much

there are a few ways you can limit the power usage of your mining rigs. If you are happy with chaning BIOS settings have a read here, they cover reducing power for CPU and GPU mining

Did you tried --pl?

you tried --pl?

Yeah I tried power limit but I only works for a while and then It slowed down my PC again.

Thanks but I want to use the remaining power for something else not just limit the entire usage

I guess the other option is to try set the LHR value to something like 60 even if it's not a LHR card. That should limit the mining without gimping the card for other uses I think.

I will try that too thanks for the advice!
