I am thinking of buying this GPU.
From what I read, if the GPU is connected directly to the motherboard, the PCI x16 plug, and has a monitor connected, mining runs smoothly. That's it?
Or is it necessary to also use such a developer driver?
Not necessary a monitor, the hdmi cable itself is enough. You can remove the monitor. Or use a hdmi dummy.
But, even using the main GPU, is it necessary to use the Beta driver?
Yes,
Is necessary to use the Beta driver 470.05 but other condition must be met:
- PCIe connections 16x 3.0 or higher (16x risers can be used)
I think the GPU bios check if the connection is 16x 3.0 or higher and if there is a monitor connected.
It would be good if someone figured out how to get around these restrictions ...
