Of cause your computer is "slower" when mining, what you essentially is doing is using all of your GPU's ressources. If you like to watch movies/play games or other task which depend on your graphics card you can play with intensity, but lowering the intensity will lower your hashrate. Good luck and thanks for sharing!

Thanks, how do I change intensity? I've seen a few codes for intensity for the .bat file but couldn't get any working?

I'm not to familiar with genoil, but I believe you can mess with grid size the command is --cuda-grid-size Default is 8192 I'm not confident in how this work 100% I'm using a different miner my self. Sorry I can't be more helpful, but good luck!

Thanks, which miner are you on?

There is nothing holding me to Genoil its just the first one I got working well.

I have been using CCminer and claymore dualminer. Mostly CCminer for DGB, it's has been working great with solo and pool mining

For nvidia there is optimized miner https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer

However it doesn't restart when error happens
But there is a program that would restart in case of error https://github.com/orkblutt/MinerLamp

I can't figure out how to get ethminer set up or running, what file in the archive is for config and which do you run?

It says something about "This project uses CMake and Hunter package manager." on the website and I have never used anything like that =\

Download ethminer-0.11.0-Windows.zip from https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/releases

then create bat file inside folder with ethminer.exe with settings, here is example

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
ethminer.exe --farm-recheck 200 -G -S eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -FS us1.ethermine.org:4444 -O (Your_Ethereum_Address).(RigName)

farm recheck can be changed to 2000, -g is for open cl, -u for cuda mining
your pool instead of

-S eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -FS us1.ethermine.org:4444

Here is a guide if you need http://zeronumbers.com/node/32

Note that this miner will crash at some point and mining will stop so you need a way to restart it either bat file or a program that will watch miner and restart it in case of error.
Here is what I use: https://github.com/orkblutt/MinerLamp
Here is alternative: https://github.com/derubm/Ethminer_Watchdog

Adjusting your settings might prevent future crashes. It took me about a week of tinkering (per card in my rig) to get the best balance of hashrate/stability/power consumption. You want to push your memclock higher, then drop your core clock and power down to lower power consumption.

Not sure how NVIDIA cards do with it, but I run Claymore's dual miner with ETH and DCR. Basically the same ETH hashrate and very little additional power, but you mine a second coin.

Good luck.
