Linux Headless Issues

[lordneon]

Hi All,

I am having issues with a box running headless, as soon as I unplug the monitor the speed drops drastically, I am guessing this is an OS problem more than an oclHashcat problem?

Running driver:
[ 1.895598] [fglrx] module loaded - fglrx 14.30.4 [Sep 15 2014] with 3 minors

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have Crossfire enabled?

Do you have Crossfire enabled?

I haven't intentionally enabled it, output from the commands below suggest it isn't.

Something wrong here, on first bench it's Cayman, on second Hawaii?

I think these are two separate systems, and I think system #2 is using Catalyst 14.12 while system #1 is using Catalyst 14.9. The output here is almost identical to Catalyst 14.12 without setting GPU_NUM_COMPUTE_RINGS.

It's not, first one is with an hdmi monitor plugged in, second with it unplugged.

Hardware:
CPU: Intel Pentium G3240
RAM: 4GB DDR3
Mobo: Asrock H61 BTC
PSU: EVGA 1300W
GPUs: [attached via powered risers]
2 x AMD 290X
1 x AMD 6950

*edit* Attached a photo for good measure, its not finished yet so ignore the messiness.

Bump, anyone have any ideas? I've currently just left a monitor plugged in for now.

If there is no software solution, would http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HDMI-dummy-plu...258c29d53b solve my problem?

Have you tried removing the 6950? It seems to be causing some weirdness in there.
