Title: New miners (Null Monitor)?
Post by: XRcode on July 07, 2011, 02:31:41 PM
I just picked up four 6970s... They don't seem to want to mine unless there is a monitor plugged into them.

Is there a way around this issue with these cards? My nvidias had no problems mining without a monitor plugged in.


Thanks

Use the latest ATI preview drivers, you don't need to use a dummy plug. Alternatively search for the registry mod that sometimes works.
