MP 7,1 MPX Module Thunderbolt Ports (for Display Connection) in Windows

[Stairway]

Is anyone running non-Bootcamp Windows on their MP 7,1 -- say, Windows 11 on a separate NVMe drive? If so, if you are using one of the Apple MPX modules with the Thunderbolt ports, do they work with Windows for display output (using the latest AMD Radeon drivers)? I have heard that the HDMI port works, but being they are all only HDMI 2.0, the max resolution is at 4K.

I use Bootcamp.
But... der8auer tested a Radeon Pro W6800x Dual card. He had to use bootcamp drivers, to get it functional.

Thanks for the info, but I had already tried that. When I connect via any of the Thunderbolt ports on the MPX or the Mac Pro itself to the XDR display, I can hear the Windows "noise" that something has been connected --- unfortunatley though, nothing displays on the screen. The only port that works is HDMI via an adapter; but since the port is only 2.0, there is no way to get more than 4K resolution.

... to the XDR display, ...

I will think this is important information. And someone will certainly be able to give advice
