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.

http://image.prntscr.com/image/7e095d63d2da4d289ebfecb36bb70109.png

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.

Windows 7 64 Bits

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.
