A fake display dongle, also known as a dummy display adapter or headless ghost, is used to simulate the presence of a monitor on a computer. When plugged into the video output (HDMI Port), it tricks the system into thinking that a monitor is connected. Here’s why this can be useful:
-
Remote Desktop Performance: For computers accessed remotely (e.g., using TeamViewer, RDP, or VNC), the fake dongle allows the system to enable the GPU. This improves graphics performance and screen resolution options, leading to a smoother experience.
-
Running GPU-Dependent Applications: Some applications, especially those requiring GPU acceleration, may not run or function optimally without a detected display. A dummy dongle enables these applications to perform as though a monitor is connected.
-
Mining Rigs and Render Farms: In setups like crypto-mining rigs or render farms, these dongles enable GPU settings and configuration without an actual display, optimizing the workflow.
-
Headless Server Setups: For servers that don’t need physical monitors but need occasional GPU management, a dummy dongle can be convenient for configuration or troubleshooting.
Essentially, it’s a low-cost tool to "trick" the system into activating the GPU as if a display is present.
