Greetings all! I have been away from any type of cracking for a long time. I did some BitCoin mining for a bit though.
Anyhow, my current rig only has a single GTX 980 in it. I am upgrading it to 3 GTX 1070s which are on the way.
So my question is regarding running my system headless. In my mining days, you had to plug a dvi dummy plug into each video card in order for the OS to recognize it if no monitor was plugged in. Maybe this behavior was also because I was running the OS on the integrated graphics and using my GPUs for the hashing.
Are these plugs needed for headless setup? From what I have read and seen, I believe the answer is no but wanted to confirm in case I needed to order more plugs to arrive when my cards arrive.
I also noticed HC3.0 supports a new headless profile but I assumed this was just a performance profile which bumps up GPU usage if you are running headless and don't need any cycles for a GUI.
