Don't set <b>intensity</b> too high, I=11 is standard and safest. Higher intensity takes more GPU RAM. Check for <b>hardware errors</b> in cgminer (HW). HW=0 is good, otherwise lower intensity :)

Set shaders according to the readme (or look at your graphic cards specifications). Cgminer uses this value at first run to calculate <b>thread-concurrency</b>.
|
|
Easiest way to get this optimized is to use same settings as others have used here: <a href="http://litecoin.info/Mining_Hardware_Comparison">here</a>.

There's also an interesting project which gives you a GUI for cgminer. Windows only it seems.
