What exactly are you looking for? There's both the single slot 6400 with dual outputs or the dual slot 6600 with 4 outputs. And both are modern RDNA2 architectures.
- tjoff 4y ago3+ digital outputs, preferably passive and preferably one slot (though many compromises have to be made). 6600 costs about $350 where I live, which is quite steep considering it's only purpose is to serve 2D and very basic 3D editing. Especially considering you'd also need a more capable/expensive card for the VM (at least for my usecase) . Compared to A380 with 4 digital outputs which costs less than $200, it has the potential to be an extremely attractive linux card.
- kllrnohj 4y agoHave you considered a DisplayPort hub? MST support has been a thing for a long time, it should work pretty well (particularly since this is basically how ~every thunderbolt & usbc dock works)
- tjoff 4y agoI have MST on my displays and it is a disaster. Also, considering the usecase where you use the VM to drive one of the displays which breaks the MST chain. For this reason and how displayport/gfx-vendors handle unplugged cables I do prefer HDMI/DVI. Wish it wasn't the case. Maybe a MST-hub could work well but I've heard of some of the difficulties and pecularities a simple KVM-switch can suffer from so I don't have high hopes for it.
