Title: Dummy plugs in win7? Post by: enmaku on June 03, 2011, 06:12:22 PM I've been mining on a few PCs around the house, but so far every GPU I've mined on actually has a monitor plugged into it. I just got a third video card for my quad-PCIe motherboard but don't have a third monitor. Are dummy plugs required on Win7 with the latest CCC/OpenCL/Drivers? They seem easy enough to build, I just want to know if I should plan for a trip to Radio Shack before my new card arrives.
Thanks! Title: Re: Dummy plugs in win7? Post by: mewantsbitcoins on June 03, 2011, 06:22:43 PM Yes

Post by: enmaku on June 03, 2011, 06:30:26 PM Yeah, that's the same guide I was looking at and it all seems simple enough. I guess I'll make my Radio Shack trip on the way home then.
