    No problem. cgminer assumes we're operating at the highest profile, and adjusts all the profiles below to make sure the highest profile remains valid.
    Good to know.  And while I'm not a programmer and I honestly don't care whether or not you change this, I believe it would make more sense from a "best practices" standpoint to only change the highest profile.  I mean, if cgminer crashes or the code to change the profiles back to defaults fails, the GPU is left running harder and hotter than it needs to be when it automatically goes back down to the lowest profile.  OTOH, some might disagree with me, being more concerned that their card might not switch to the highest profile or preferring the card not slow down if no work is available (based on the theory that the GPU and/or fan last longer when run at a constant rate).  Also, thanks for the quick response, I figured this might be something someone else could answer, but not something too many people could, so I wasn't sure I'd get an answer (much less a nearly instant one on a Saturday morning).
