You still haven't figured out how to search, then? Hint: I posted the solution to this, so maybe searching for posts made by me would be a good idea?

This is just ridiculous. If no one from btctalk can't help me on this I don't know who can ! .. Do I need 16x 16x connectors or maybe dummy plugs or something.. ?

Alright, here's my config:
CPU: i5 2500k
MoBo: ASUS Maximus V Gene
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 2x4GB @2133Mhz
VGA: MSI R7970 Lightning 3GB GDDR5
MON: BenQ RL2455HM 24" 1ms
HDD: OCZ Vertex 4 128GB, WD 500GB AAKS, WD 500GB AAKX
Case: Thermaltake Overseer RX-I - OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W
SND: ASUS Xonar DGX
OS: Win7 Ultimate 64-Bit

I just want to make my Integrated GPU from the CPU work for Youtube and usual work on the PC, while the discrete GPU will do the mining 24/7 at the same time..
My monitor has 2xHDMI inputs, 1xDVI, 1xVGA... Motherboard has 1xDisplayPort, 1xHDMI outputs.

How to connect everything and use my graphics card for mining separately while having my Integrated GPU working for Youtube etc... ? How to setup, what to turn on/off, change.... ?

Please help...

Plug the monitor into the on board video socket and only mine on the video card.

How to mine when I get this mixed image on the screen when my main video card is connected to the power supply even though my monitor is connected to the on board video socket. And if I disconnect the main GPU it so I can get normal image from the iGPU i cannot mine because it's not connected to the PSU... Can you be a bit more detailed ?

This topic has been done to death. I know I've posted how to get this working at least twice. Search.

And what if I searched and I didn't find anything ? You're just gonna say that and leave ? It would be much nicer to just answer if you know the solution. You'll help someone in need...

The screenie in the upper post is showing state from the starting of the PC, everything is changed and the colors are mixed up. But yes, when I mine and I play youtube or something I get crashes. Now I only want to solve this thing to use both GPU's for different thing but at the sime time. Maybe I need to try dummy plug(?), but I'm afraid I will get the same screen even though I choose only iGPU for Windows video signal in Bios because my main card will be connected to the power supply...

Thanks for the reply anyway.

Try the regular hardware forum. Might have better luck there. Sounds like more driver trouble than its worth, even with free electricity at this point.

I would say you're better off just mining normally and setting your intensity in cgminer to -d, when using your rig. And then back to "9", when you're done. Might even be able to schedule a task to have cgminer set it to 9 after x amount of time idle and set it back to 'd' (or 6) when not idle?

There are other ways to do what your asking, but its more of a pain in the ass dealing with the possible driver issues.

I'm guessing mining has caused BSODs while watching youtube?

I already tried Virtu (all types of versions) and it didn't help. When I connect my monitor with the motherboard (iGPU output) and my main GPU card is connected to my power supply I get this type of screen:

And when I disconnect cables from the PSU for the main GPU I get normal welcome screen and desktop with my iGPU but I cannot use my Discrete GPU for mining then(normally)..

So how to solve it ?

I though I should only connect my main card to the monitor at the same time with iGPU and then I could only switch sources but it doesn't work that way.

I have to solve this somehow....

You could try something like Virtu.

it should let you do what you want, cant be sure though.
