I bought a rx 470 to use on my personal computer, i tried to mine using the pc but got huge lags on vídeo. As i use it to work, i set my primary display on the onboard vídeo Card. Lag is gone. But now i cannot monitor the gpu temperature and use wattman also.

On my previous pc (280x), i had a DVI-D adapter to vga with 3 resistors simulating a monitor plugged at the main vga and it worked fine. But at the RX 470 its DVI-I, it does not accept my old DVI-D adapter.


Any clues on how to make it work?

Someone could help me?

DVI-I adapter with resistors? Its really unsafe to keep 24/7 without monitoring temps/wattman to change mem/gpu clocks.

I found on ebay hdmi dummy plug, that would work for me, what do you guys think?

Its cheaper to get display port to vga adapter/dvi-d, and add 3 resistors of 75 ohms to it, like my old 280X worked (with DVI-D to vga adapter), would that work?

thanks :)

I don't get your point. Why doesn't you simply connect it to your screen using an HDMI cable ?

my monitor does not have hdmi

and if i connect to my monitor using dvi cable, the screen lags a little and it bother me using the computer 8 hours a day like that, so i am using the onboard video to work and the rx 470 to mine

I had similar issue, where I couldn't monitor temps on headless setup.  I couldn't get the dvi adapter diy dummy to work.  After reading around, the home made dummy didn't seem to be advisable for the dvi-d (24 +1), also wouldn't work for me on my 470's so I broke down and purchased a $15 hdmi emulator for my asus 470 to run headless then used the dvi-d adapter on the other 470, to my vga monitor making my magic interweb box into a 2 X 470 mining rig as well.  I use -ethi 4,8 in claymore to lower the intensity of gpu 0 so I don't have the lag while using the computer.

Try plugging in a monitor, start mining and then unplug the monitor.

Good until restart...
