Title: Enable cross-fire on windowz remotely!! Post by: walidzohair on August 14, 2011, 08:03:21 AM Well this is a common yet annoying problem in our mining center. (and yes we mostly use windowz!!! viva zalata viva noobes)
Every time we need to restart to apply some os fixes, batches , policies, updates, bla bla. then we have to hook on console to enable the cross-fire as almost every remote display ssh, vnc, .... would not have the option activated. and without cross-fire we only have the first card active for mining. Any help would be highly appreciated (help does not include suggestion of using other OSes)! Title: Re: Enable cross-fire on windowz remotely!!

Post by: deslok on August 24, 2011, 12:04:23 PM I'm still running driver 11.6 the new, ones eliminate the need for dummy plugs and allow 8 instead of four gpus however none of my rigs would benefit from either of those at the moment and the bugs introduced with the newer drivers aren't something i'm going to play with till I build a new rig.

That i why i am asking about the new driver to avoid the hassel fo teh dummy plugs Title: Re: Enable cross-fire on windowz remotely!! Post by: Jazkal on August 24, 2011, 12:18:15 PM I'm still on 1.6 because of the bugs in 11.7 and 11.8. It is nice to know that dummy plugs will be a thing of the past, just not right now for me.

Title: Re: Enable cross-fire on windowz remotely!! Post by: Departure on September 09, 2011, 07:23:38 AM I have 6 gpu's running on windows without dummy plugs, 11.7 driver or greater supports this....

Post by: walidzohair on September 09, 2011, 12:42:05 PM I have 6 gpu's running on windows without dummy plugs, 11.7 driver or greater supports this.... Thanks for the update .. so no dummy plugs and no attaching to monitor is required to enable the 6 gpus ?? as I am using a remote client (like team viewer and logmein) Title: Re: Enable cross-fire on windowz remotely!! Post by: deslok on September 11, 2011, 05:16:58 AM I recently setup a new righ with 6gpu with the most recent drivers running windows i had a monitor attached for inital configuration beyond that it's unnneccary i can control everything through logmein at this point
