Need to test a 512MB card and well as a powered pciex1 to pciex16 riser cable.
If either or both work in various combinations then there will be many more options available to us.
Any news on the tests? :-)

On a few boots AmigaOS 4.1 freezes as the workbench screen is diplayed.
No consistent frequency to this though.

@Spectre : how did you get the dual graphic display working under OS4 ?

I have a R7 250x but no radeonHD driver besides the v0.65 tha came with the prerelase but I am fedup to be stuck at 1024x768 therefore I would like to use my radeon 9250 PCI but my machine does not pass the boot process (after the prompt where you choose your boot partition).

@Lio

The second card does not function under AMIGAOS 4.1.Only linux.But It does boot to AmigaOS 4.1 with the second card installed.

You need to get the Enhancer Software for the version of the Radeon HD driver that give you higher resolution with the Radeon R7 250x.
A free version comes with most the X5000 bundles. Looks like you will have to pay for it due to the "Deal" that you got .

Or via the Amistore software .
