Has anyone else run into an issue where the Catalyst application crashes once you RDP into a machine? I leave catalyst open to look @ the GPU temps, however, the app crashes as soon as I RDP in and will not reopen. I also found that once the app crashes, the hash count goes down by 50%.
Are there other alternatives to watching the GPU temp / loads w/o using what's built into Catalyst? I would give it a try to see if it works over RDP.
Thanks for any input.

When you RDP into your system, RDP hijacks DISPLAY 0 and pipes it into software instead of the hardware on your system. So you can't RDP onto a system that is mining on display 0.
There maybe a fix for that but i haven't found one.

you don't need catalyst, use MSI Afterburner, sapphire trixx, gpu-z

Martin, if you're talking about Windows, RDP will not give access to the card. Your connection will only allow you to see a dummy display device, same happens with sound also. Any software accessing the GPU card will not work (best case) or crash (worst case)
Use Teamviewer instead (it's actually safer as well).
If you're talking about Unix, Saturn's reply above is correct.

VNC type applications work as well, not as secure as teamviewer but the technical aspects are the same. Its more akin to sending screenshots over the network instead of a driver level hook.

Yeah RDP really messes things up when it comes to mining. Stay away from it.

I did some testing on different types of apps from a security standpoint and I must say that VNC is pretty secure if you lock your system down and only accept connections from the loopback. I ended up running sshd on a nonstandard port.
Connection steps are to SSH into the box, then VNC to it (since they are windows).
Also setup the sshd to ip block after 1 failed password attempt.
next it to setup a keypair though.
fun fun fun

my work blocks VNC, so I tried going over a different port, but I think they wised up to me, so now I gotta find yet another port! Unless they're blocking everything except for certain ports, then maybe I'll set my home VNC to 80 or something since I don't run a website at home
I may try team viewer as well
