The AMD Crimson Relive drivers should support both cards on Windows. I have a Pitcarin card in my rig together with RX 480's and I was getting similar reduced hashing outputs. What I did was connect the primary 16x PCI-E slot to the Pitacarin card's 1x riser and use that card with the monitor dummy plug. I then uninstalled the drivers in safe mode using DDU and reinstalled the latest 17.5.2 drivers. All the cards are working normal now.

Also I've found that the Claymore miner sometimes can change the order the cards are detected, so you need to make sure the right settings are applied to each card. e.g. my Pitcarin card will only take 1500 MHz for the memory clock at intensity 4, while the RX 480's can take 2100 MHz at intensity 7.

The Crimson Relive drivers on Windows support all GCN and up cards:

The Fiji Amd cards are GCN 3. My Pitcarin is GCN 1 and I use the latest 17.5.2 drivers on my rig with the RX 480's.

I don't have Fiji cards but as far as I know, that is the recommended driver. In the Readme it also recommends using the 15.12 drivers which don't even support the Polaris cards. The documentation hasen't been updated since the original release, which is common with most miners. The FAQ also mentions:

- Is 15.12 driver mandatory?
  Usually latest drivers work well. But there are some reports of people where they don't. So 15.12 is recommended.
