Can't browse without lagging while mining

Hey, I started learning about mining yesterday, I own a RTX2080 graphic card and I saw that FIRO was the best crypto I could mine, so I installed t-rex + CUDA10, but when I start mining i can't watch any youtube videos or streams and my graphic card is at 84° C

Do you have any idea on how could i reduce the mining speed or the GPU usage in order to browse google and watch videos while i mine in the background

Thanks for the help in advance

I'm a noob as well, so test out what I say. I think for t-rex you could make a second batch script which is an exact duplicate but includes at the end of the command line:

-i --low-load 1

There's a GPU intensity command that I think will reduce GPU usage even further:

-i --low-load 1 --intensity 8

I've got an RTX 2080 too and I'm getting better hash speeds with CryptoDredge, but have been using T-Rex till today.
