Basically like the title states. What OS or setups require the plugs for multi cvard systems to work?

WIndows 7 x64 Ultimate with 7970s needs the plug or kvm. |

I don't think you need null plugs for Windows 8. I've mined just fine without them. But null plugs are honestly not a big deal. You can get a pack of 5 resistors at Radio Shack for something like $1.50 and just plug 3 of them into the DVI/VGA port.

You don't need them on older driver versions too (win7 64) but I am not sure about the 7xxx series. 5xxx and 6xxx worked without dummy plugs for me with drivers ver between 11.6 and 12-something (but I did need them before 11.6) of course it was never a problem on linux  |

Can anyone confirm that you do or don't need them on windows 8?

WIndows 7 x64 Ultimate with 7970s needs the plug or kvm. Not true. 2x 7970 was running fine on Win 7 and Linux with no plugs. Logged in from remote through teamviewer. Seriously dummy plugs are something of 5 years ago. All recent drivers/OS's have fixed this. |

Ya I just have TightVNC Server running on there and I use VNC to connect to it if I need to do anything. |

Ya I just have TightVNC Server running on there and I use VNC to connect to it if I need to do anything. You probably wanna give RDP or FreeNX a try, the difference is enormous compared to VNC. AFAIK it is also possible to have seamless mode, hence only have the remote miner window on your desktop |

any windows.
Not technically correct - I've never used null plugs, and mine on 4 different machines running Windows 7 and 8. |
