Enable cross-fire on windowz remotely!!

[walidzohair]

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)!

OH does that apply for the new Catalyst 11.8 too ?

I am afraid to try it .. but if it eleminate teh need for a ummy plug then i will do it ... any one have tried it yet ? still needs dummy plug ?

Why ate you using crossfire?

Why ate you using crossfire?

to be able to use bh cards in windowz

Follow one of the advised dummy plug methods and just run one worker power gpu you'll have less problems and faster miners

one worker power gpu ?

the links decribes teh driver 11.7 .. and I am askign about 11.8 is it good ?

[deslok]

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

[Jazkal]

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.

A package of 68 ohm resistors from radio shack is cheap peace of mind

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)

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

Correct, I am running 6 GPU rigs under 11.7 without dummy plugs plus TeamViewer with no problems.
