Thanks for your "pro tip", just the tip right?

I find that strange as we should be looking for every scrap of extra performance we can get.  Perhaps for the people with larger farms this makes little difference due to the downtime involved but I don't mind experimenting, part of the fun for me with a hobby that pays.

protip: most miners rarely bother updating their drivers. those who do rarely update to beta.

Where is the "Caution don't do this shit" area then Tongue

PS- I'm using 7950's so....?

PPS-These did work fine with the non-beta drivers using no monitor connections, dummy plugs or otherwise, this was an attempt to be helpful.

This is not a cry for help
then don't post it in the technical support section.

Also, 58xx series work fine without dummy plugs. SDK 2.1 through 2.7, catalyst 11.12 through 13.4. Maybe if you don't use beta, it will magically work Tongue

Can't seem to run my machines headless with the above drivers, two different machines and the same results with various settings in afterburner.  All are using a combo of 7950's (gigabyte, sapphire and xfx).

I'm using TeamViewer as my means to connect to the machines...  With no monitor connection can't get any video to display that isn't all blocky and distorted. 

This is not a cry for help, just a warning for anyone wanting to try. I guess I'll have to get some dummy plugs at some point and give that a try.  Smiley
