I had to put aside sourcing a build for a new server, last year. I just picked this up again. I originally sized up a system with a Radeon R7 240/340 chipset, but it's not widely available any more. I see just one hit on Amazon, but it's not listed on pcpartpicker, which I use to check for compatibility.
Does anyone have any experience with a video card based on a Radeon HD 7750 chipset under X? It's a shame about the R7 chipset, that chipset had VGA, DVI, and HDMI ports, while the 7750 has two HDMI ports. I'll just have to get a dongle for my VGA and DVI monitors, no big deal.

There are Radeon HD 7750 based cards with DVI, but don't know if they are actually available for purchase at reasonable prices. Phoronix.com has used Radeon HD 7750 in tests/comparisons under Ubuntu 16.04.

Going a bit on a tangent, do AMD GPUs still have that issue where they do not get gracefully removed from a VM, and as result made available for other uses, after said VM is shut down?

Do you need to get a discrete GPU? You don't mention what the CPU is, but if you're getting an AMD CPU, you can get an APU model with the graphics built-in. The motherboards usually have a VGA and DVI port.

I'm building a box based on a Threadripper 3950X, no onboard GPU.
