Trashcan!

Hello everybody,

let's talk about the Trashcan aka MacPro 6,1 and the quirks and issues it could show.

I would start with something that may look like inception: I'm talking about an Intel Mac used about BOOTCAMP windows emulation.

My son uses the Trashcan basically as a gaming PC, but the video drivers for the AMD FirePro cards aren't exactly up to date.
I found https://www.bootcampdrivers.com/ which claims to have more updated drivers, while AMD website has these : https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/Apple-Boot-Camp.html - any hint about how to improve graphics perfomance under bootCamp?

Also: I now have the D300 installed... but I have a spare D700 couple of cards. I have read they are terrible for generating heat etc, so I wonder if I should swap them in or not.
