I stream my PC to my tablets & laptops. With the latest crimson drivers from AMD, they have managed to break hardware encoding via their GPU's! GG AMD :thumbsup:
Instead bogging down the CPU with CPU encoding, I'd like to use Intel Quicksync iGPU acceleration. I tried it and it works great.
The problem is that on the Dell motherboard I have, the iGPU doesn't turn on unless there is a monitor plugged into it. If no monitor, it doesn't even show up in device manager.
The computer is a Dell Optiplex 990, kinda dated but I got it for real cheap!, with an A10 bios. Dell is up to A18 now, but none of the log notes indicate an added iGPU always on toggle feature.
The iGPU only has a VGA port.
Is this gonna work if I stick some resistors directly into the plug?

Any bios hacks or other ideas?
