These cost a few bucks, but they have made my life infinitely easier when managing multiple rigs remotely: http://www.ebay.com/itm/0ship-HDMI-EDID-DDC-Plug-Headless-Linux-Windows-Mac1920x1200-emulator-dummy-USA-/191567271934?hash=item2c9a4c97fe:g:bcgAAOSw~OdVb-7m

Sure you can do the resister short trick to simulate a monitors presence, but you are still stuck with low resolution. These are well worth the expense if you have more than a few rigs. He offers discounts on bulk orders, but you need to message him.

I second this seller's dummy plug. I have the HDMI version (DVI available) and it works great! No issues and worth the cost to avoid tiny resolutions on Teamviewer. The plug came cracked for me, but has no noticeable effect on the PC. Seems like he 3D printed the plastic.

Just make a a dummy plug by yourself with few resistors. Read more here - https://rumorscity.com/2013/12/06/how-to-create-dummy-plugs-for-your-graphics-cards/

Those work on crappy cards but wont on RX anyway.  I have 30 rigs and had to buy dummy plugs.  While I was pissed doing so, it made life hella easier!

Also the Asrock Anniversary BTC Board for some reason dont need a dummy plug.  I have 5 of those.

Easiest way without having to buy anything is to include an old GPU with your RX GPUs. Like so

280x
470
470
470
470
470

Put the 280x in the main 16x slot and your problems will go away. All GPUs will work and high resolution on team viewer.


This is only possible in Windows I think.

With ZEC probably uses the same amount of power as an RX 470. With ETH its a different story, twice the Watts per MH/s.
