Title: Weird problem when using my Nvidia rig
Post by: Redrose on January 10, 2017, 09:05:34 PM
Back in time (one or two, maybe three at most, months ago), when I was still mining, I had an AMD rig and an Nvidia rig for those you do not know me, and I encountered weird issues with my Nvidia rig. When I did not let the VGA cable plugged into it and let it like that for some time, I do not know the exact, the screen got resized for a bigger display, so all the screen was visible. The taskbar and the right of the screen was not seenable. Has anyone encountered this issue, and resolved it ?

Never even heard of this issue. What OS?

So your desktop was going into extended mode ? (like stretching on multiple display).

Also to note that, when you have no display connected to your main GPU if you take control remotely of your rig (vnc/teamviewer) you will not be able to have more than 1024x768 4/3 ratio, if you want bigger, you will need to either connect a display physically or use a screen emulator (little HDMI dongle) at least on windows, i know there is a EDID trick that you can do on linux for headless setups.

I never heard of that either and I have a few nvidia rigs. Though I use the onboard GPU if I ever need to plug in a monitor. But even before that I don't think I ever had that issue (win7).

Well usually if you start the rig with a monitor then unplug it, it will keep the resolution until next reboot, but if you boot without a display 99% of the time u'll have that, i encountered only a few motherboard that don't have this but i guessed they had some kind of internal emulation since they were pro motherboard made to be remote accessible with integrated IP KVM (intel AMT)

Sounds awkward, can you use Integrated/External Video Card, which mean when the system boot will use NVIDIA graphics card and integrated video card, both at same time.

So when the system boot, will initiate on Integrated Video Card and prevent to change resolution because you aren't using any NVIDIA Video Card for system display.

This is in the case I'd like to not connect a monitor, but I want to, and problem is that if I unplug it too long, it gets bugged and I need to reboot.
