No problem.

I won't say there is no other way, but all my google-fu was unable to come up with anything promising.

You need a dummy plug. Yes, there are dummy plugs for 290's. Look for HDMI/displayport to VGA adapters, then make a dummy plug out of the VGA adapter. Getting a digital to analog converter is the only for sure way the thing will work, so I wouldn't try a DP/HMI to DVI adapter, even if it has the analog output pins.

Only need one per rig, luckily, because they are more expensive.

Alright, thanks.
Was thinking about dummy plugs as a possible solution but wasn't sure if it was the only way. Guess there's no other way.

My rig is working properly when it comes to mining, but my desktop resolution is stuck on 640x480. I've tried various things and I can't seem to be able to make it higher and since some programs aren't designed to be viewed in such low res, I really wanna get this to work.

I tried to change the registry.
Tried to play around in CCC but all options to change res are greyed out.
"Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" is greyed out.

Some additional information:
Windows 64bit.
3x R9 290 (mining with them is just fine).
No onboard display.
13.12 drivers.


Any help would be highly appreciated!
