I'm back after about a decade. Lost my niece to cancer and now this COVID thing all in a few months.
 
I have a MSI Meg Ace x570 mobo, and I want to run a 2nd folding gpu. Do we still need dummy plugs in this day and age?

    No, and you should also update to ver 7.5.1

    I run up to 3 - GPU in one rig .... they all Fold just fine ... (see Nibbler in my signature for build link)
     
    Now --> if you tried to run headless - [No, monitor on the PC] ... then Yes you need one for best performance

    Hmmmm... I am on version 7.5.1
     
    Thanks for the info as I hated dummy plugs. Also cheers for directing me to the "Why We Fold" thread.
