HW.Monitor never > 70% GPU - cabela - 01-05-2012

Hello, take a look
I'm using latest 0.07 version
I could never get more than 70% of GPU to be used... no matter what I do
I have 6950 card, and if no settings are passed just -a 3 -m 500 and mask i sometimes get around 90%. Is is possible to tune this to be 100% of GPU or no ?

Thanks in advance

this heavily depends on the algorithm used. in case of highly iterated one you have a lot of memory swapping to be done, so the ALU cannot be held busy. i will try to improve it, but its unrealistic to make it to 99% on all algorithms
