Just got it up and running today. Will most likely run BOINC projects or Folding on the HD7950.

 

It runs just fine, on Windows 10. Cant comment on DX12 performance in multi adapter mode, haven't done any significant testing yet.

I believe only Ashes supports it at this time right? 

I believe so, but I plan on using the 7950 strictly for Boinc projects/Folding. the 7950 was the previous GPU before the 1080. I just 'reinstalled' the 7950 today since it was laying around.

 

Sidenote, I did a lot of maintenance today: I cloned 2 120GB 840 Evos in Raid 0 to a new single 850 Evo 500 Gb drive. That in itself took a while. Cloned in RAID first. Made sure my cloned partitions stilled work. Took raid 0 array offline. Configured Windows to use AHCI drivers instead of RAID drivers. Put SATA controller in AHCI. Which worked. Then expanded the main partition using Gparted, and it broke the BCD. Fixed BCD from Windows rescue disk by recreating the EFI bootloader. And finally it all worked.

 

Rough day.
