I believe 11.6b also does away with the needing dummy plugs...

Just tried 11.6B and now both OpenCL and Phoenix use 50+% of my CPU in GUIMiner. Previously only Phoenix had been eating up my CPU resources... I heard this is a common error.

I'm running 11.7. Runs fine minus the CPU issue with phoenix. Very stable and does eliminate the need for a dummy plug. Found out about 11.7 minutes after I ordered 20 resistors.

Ouch, at least they're cheap, I guess.

Thanks folks.

For those of you with 11.7, did you find a full version or are you running the release candidate? If it is the full version, have a link?

Ah, yes, it's very hard to build a mining rig without a PSU.

Yes it's one of those great mysteries in life, thanks for the offer btw.

Any Catalyst experts out there?

Works here, all my rigs work without dummy plugs or being plugged into monitors now after reboot.

No need to McGyver with resistors after you install them..

You have unused hardware and didn't install Linux to use it...?

That's correct. I have been waiting to build a second system w/linux but am missing a component.

What component are you missing?

BTW, I have a few dummy plugs here that I have no use for. I can ship them anywhere in the world. Make me an offer.

I'll make the 20 minute drive to pick up some resistors if it has to come to that, but a simple Catalyst update sure seems more convenient and cost-effective.

I'm just waiting on a friend to bring me his old PSU for my second build.

Hey folks,

I have been told that Catalyst 11.7 will end the need for dummy plugged video cards in Win7. Is anyone aware of whether or not this is the case? Also, I checked AMD's driver page and can only find 11.6 available for download at the moment, does anyone have an ETA on release or even if the beta is reasonably stable? I have a 5830 sitting here collecting dust due to lack of a dummy plug atm..

Thanks in advance.
