You'll be able to see the second card as a valid OpenCL device without having to plug a monitor into it.

So do you need one dummy plug for each card? Someone else said you can just do 1st card for 1/2 and the 3rd card for 3/4.

You only need dummy plugs for secondary displays/cards. What I mean by that is that there will be one card that is always active as the system display card. That one does not get turned off by the drivers when no monitor is connected to it. I dunno about 3rd card for 3/4..I never tried it with 3 cards. I do use two cards per system so I use the dummy plug on the second card.

Damn, that sucks. Hope you get this issue resolved somehow.
Having read this I am glad I decided not to buy from this guy. I instead ended up searching on ebay and ran across some guy who runs this site: cablesaurus.com
I ordered two dummy cables from him for a reasonable BTC price and I just received them today.
I'm wondering if the admin of that site is on this forum....

One interesting thing to note... dummy plugs are usually NOT required if you run a single card system with no monitor attached.

I realize that but I'm adding a second card and we all know what happens in WINBLOWS With current btc to dollars it really hurts to get screwed so bad for 3 resistors on a $1 plug didn't mind a little for time & postage but $50 hurts especially not getting anything

Problem solved. No reason to spend $50 on them...

If anyone wants to sell resistors, put up a job on forbitcoin.com!
You can rest easy there as it's an escrow service
