Do I need a dummy plug?

Hey,

So I just ordered a 5830 to go alongside my 6970... I heard Windows won't recognize it unless it's connected to another monitor.

Stupid question, but does it need to be a VGA/DVI connection? The card has HDMI out so I can just hook it up to my TV that way. Would that work?

Yup, HDMI to your TV will work. That's exactly the way my computer is setup.

Cool, thanks
