MP 7,1 W5700X for Boot Camp question

[LEOMODE]

For anyone who uses Apple CTO W5700X for 2019/2020 Mac Pro, does it also run on Windows Boot Camp without any driver issues (as if it's 5700XT)?

Also, can you use whatever the graphic cards that came with Mac Pro but when I use Boot Camp I can use my extra Nvidia card?

Overall, I'm curious if I'll see any limitations when I use Boot Camp with Mac Pro 7,1 hardware. I was told that if I use non-CTO card I lose thunderbolt ports for instance.

Thanks in advance!

It requires the Bootcamp GPU drivers, the AMD installer doesn’t recognize it as a 5700.

Bootcamp driver meaning Windows Radeon drivers right, not Boot Camp apple drivers.

I’m curious how you interpret the exact opposite of what I said.

Haha, that's why I asked because it didn't make sense to me if I interpreted the way you said. I didn't know Boot Camp drivers had a GPU driver included.

Yes the Bootcamp drivers install a custom version of the Radeon 'Pro' drivers. If you download it from AMD it won't detect it as a 5700 (XT or otherwise)

Why couldn't use just download the Boot Camp drivers from AMD? https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/apple-boot-camp

It's the exact same driver that comes with the Bootcamp installer.
