Re: How do I control the % of GPU usage
Posted: Sat Dec 23, 2017 8:57 pm
I'm only using the GPU for mining. My laptop is usually on 24 hours a day anyways. I'm running Claymore now and the GPU when mining is somewhere between 0 and 20% in the taskmanager info and stays around 105 degrees F.
This is my work laptop which I use all day to work and watch youtube at times so the extra electricity I doubt is that much.
I'm more concerned with how much I'm using over my normal usage which is the usual photoshop/onshot video editor/youtube with mining because I'd be using it for that other stuff anyways. I'm calculated it to be about $4 per month over my normal usage because the idle GPU still sucks in power.
I make roughly 2.3 dollars per day running 24/7.
