It looks like your version of BOINC should work and your computer has downloaded some tasks so everything is working on that end. You probably need to make sure you don't have GPU use suspended in the client; under Activity > Use GPU always or based on preferences and than in Advanced > Preferences you have "Use GPU while computer is in use" checked.

I have to use Catalyst 10.3 for my 3850 to be recognised properly - mind you I haven't tried a later release recently.

>time to settle in
Yes, sometimes a long time.
One of our members had to detach/reattach to mw 3 times the other day before a hardware change would be recognised.
Cheers,
