I'm running multiple AMD GPUs with a 2950X on Fedora 29 with the amdgpu/mesa 
drivers on just the OpenCL portions of AMD's binary drivers installed. I 
started off with a hand-me-down Radeon Pro WX7100 that I ran until I found a 
Vega 56 on sale during the holidays. I left the WX7100 in my box for a couple 
of reasons, one of one being to use with OpenCL. The Radeon Pro is basically 
the workstation version of an RX 480 or 580 I think so it's not too far off 
from the RX 470. I've not had any issues out of it and I'm just using the 
default "multiple GPU" setting in Darktable. I didn't think to run benchmarks 
before and after but I"ve not had any issues out of the setup. I need to go in 
and make sure the Vega is getting set as the default card at some point. But 
it's plenty fast and definitely faster than OpenCL disabled, no display 
problems or bugs so far ...

I guess I could just disable one card in the darktablerc file with 
opencl_device_priority instead of yanking one of the cards out? If it's that 
quick and easy can try to do some comparisons this week.
