Topic: RDP stealing my GPU for guiminer? (Read 4137 times)
If both windows boxes are up to 7 SP1 or 2008R2 sp1 then you can enable RemoteFX.
In regular RDP DirectX rendering is disabled as well as the GPU driver, but in RemoteFX enabled RDP those features are active.

alright thanks for tip on VNC. I actually have TightVNC running on that box that I forgot about, so just some minor firewall tweaking and I got my problem fixed!
Now I don't have to agonize about missing out on 175+ Mhash for another 7 hours

When I TightVNC into my mining box, only the video card that physically has a monitor plugged into it will show up in the miner (Phoneix.exe -k phatk for me)
So I have to physically walk over to it, plug the monitor into the 5850, walk back to my computer's TightVNC window, open 5850.bat, walk back to the mining computer, swap the monitor to the 5830, walk back to my pc, remotely start 5830.bat, walk back to the mining computer, unplug the monitor.
Also, whichever one is running the monitor at the time, when you unplug it but are still watching it from TightVNC, the MH/s will go up by about 3.
I'm fairly certain all these issues can be solved with Dummy Plugs (however, since when I unplug the monitor I get an extra 3 MH/s, I don't want to use dummy plugs.)

Hey all, I decided to check in the guiminer today (it stalled for an unrelated issue), and I RPDed in from work. I re-started up guiminer and.... it only sees the CPU and no GPU?? This happened yesterday as well when I RDPed in for a completely unrelated issue (I was at my house and connected, and then rebooted and checked it locally, so it was normal at that point).
I then restarted up my computer, and restarted guiminer, and the CPU is still the only thing showing up.
Can someone offer advice? I don't want to go 8 more hours at just 1Mhash
I want my 179Mhash
does RDP steal a bunch of video resources or something? Does remoting in not let the computer think there's an awesome GPU there?
Is there a way to "force" the RDP session to recognize the video card?

Yeah, when you remote desktop into a windows box it disabled some graphical resources so the bandwidth is reduced, try using VNC or Teamviewer instead
