Enabled GPU while on IGP, now hashrate suffer and gpu doesnt report?

[VirosaGITS]

More specifically, i am trying to use my integrated intel HD by plugging my monitor onboard, while mining with my 290 that has no monitor connected. (290 is detected in hardware but i cant seem to mine on it, for example GUI miner doesnt detect it).

Help would be much appreciated.

That does not work, VGA adaptors have c1,c2,c3,c4 + a "+" shaped c5, current sockets have a "-" shaped socket and no c1 to c4.

Besides they say dummy adaptor has no longer been needed for 2-3 years as software has evolved. But i don,t see any option in display setting or amd control panel to force enable idle GPU. So i'm looking for a software fix.

Still looking, Virtu MVP doesnt seem to work, i get service not working properly, closing. Error.

13.12 and beta doesnt work, manually installing amd sdk doesnt work, CGWatcher list the card as INACTIVE.

Uninstall all the drivers (of the GPU) and reinstall the desired ones.

What? I'm asking how to enable inactive GPU without a dummy plug so i can mine.

I know. Try what I just said, go to device manager and uninstall the drivers.

There is a thread here, let find it and post it. It's got a ton of great info.

Read through all four pages plz.

Finally read through the 4 page of mostly dummies and dummy plugs.

There's nothing new:

-You can use Dummy plugs(Obsolete)
-You don,t need Dummy Plug if you install current drivers for amd and intel.

My guess is there is something wrong with intel drivers because i can't install opencl for igp (it says computer does not support requirement), it wont install i3 igp drivers for same reason, wont install other version of seemingly related to HD Graphics 2500 for same reason, website auto detect doesnt work.

It just seem to me that Open CL isint working properly, GPU-Z say that Open CL isint supported for both IGP and dGPU when monitor is plugged onboard. Simply rebooting with GPU as primary then renable Open CL support for GPU.

Atm AMD and AMD SDK is installed successfully.

What brand/model# board, cpu are you using?

[VirosaGITS]

I have an i3 3220 (hd2500) running on b75m-gl.

I don't think its the board as the r290 is detected, even by miners, but OpenCL is disabled when booting on the IGP.

[pekv2]

Is this possible?

from what I understand the dvi-d cannot be dummied. maybe a second temp monitor?

Other than that, I am at lost and sorry for wasting your time.

[VirosaGITS]

*shrug*

Are you saying i temporarily get a second monitor?

A few users reported forcing output on software side with "detect" when you go to the display->screen resolution screen, then a "output not detected" button supposedly appear and would then let you force virtual output on r290 without having anything plugged in. But i don't see such thing. Nor do r290 appear there.

Both my recent motherboards and the 290 have that DVI-D plug which cannot be dummied. My 7 years old dead lcd screen that doesnt work is DVI-D too.

I don't know if i'm missing a little something so i can force output or there is something wrong with my i3, as i can't seem to find the right drivers for it and i can,t install opencl 1.2 for intel.

Are you using windows 7 32 bit or 64 bit, or even using windows7 at all?

w7 64

I'm stumped bro.  

Edit:

Maybe post in that thread that I linked, the one here for bitcointalk or the one at litecoin forums.

[VirosaGITS]

Me too, but i figure i'm missing something simple, since i very much doubt i'm the first person to encounter this problem and i don't see thousands of people whining about it like i.
