AMD cards for anything advanced are crap, they couldn't recogize one of my monitor (>2 monitor setup), and they're not playing fair with their AMF extension on Linux (works great on Windows though). Even on Windows, I cannot get the card to properly get my minitor resolutions (it's sitting beyond a multiplexer, though there no problem with nvidia).



AMD cards work just fine. Not sure what kind of issues you are having with your dual monitor. May be you are using an ancient kernel?

What's an AMF extension?


Triple monitor on two physical screen, and no AMD cards do not work, in this case using the display port output and DVI->HDMI adapter, and yes, it works with a third physical monitor (not acceptable in my setup). Nvidia/nouveau are not showing these problems.

AMF == Advanced Media Framework.


On Linux you have vaapi for hardware encoding.

AMF doesn't seem to have a Linux version to begin with, so not sure what you were testing exactly: https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/AMF/issues/4


HEVC hardware encoding is not supported by "amdgpu" VAAPI libs (tested about 6 month ago with an RX560, did you get it working ?).
