I have an old Asus e450 AGPU board sitting in a closet that we might be able to use, but I simply cannot understand the current system for amd drivers, nor find any information about the supported opengl version for cards.
Does anyone know, or can point me towards some better information?

The alternative would be a gtx 560 ti and a new psu but I'm kind of keen on trying a amd card

I do not know, but if you want to use amdgpu it would be best if you get gcn 3rd gen or later.

Ofcourse I will need a much beefier psu for that as the current 350w one would most likely die screaming..
Now as far as I can tell the consensus is a "good" 500W should do the trick, would a CORSAIR VS Series VS550 "550W 80 Plus" ( CP-9020097-EU ) work ? or would it be a better option to go with a unknown brand with a higher wattage, eg. Tagan SuperRock Series TG1000-U33II which claims to be a "1000W 80 Plus bronze"
(Both PSUs would be brand new)
Ps. hope it's okay for me to draw on the hivemind like this, I'm *way* out of my comfort zone here, haven't build amd/ati setups in about 10 years

The e450 that originally sparked this, even with a SSD it was just painfully slow on the desktop - it may have gotten faster with a dedicated GFX card but I bartered my way to a used office pc.

The astute observer will notice it's using a 1080O Medium, not extrem profile - not sure why that is I'll have a look at it later.
Overall it runs really, really well - and not having to deal with drivers manually is enough that I think I'll go AMD for my next gfx card :D
Only thing that went wrong in this build was the ram - it came with the ram modules in A1(black) & B1(blue), the manual (and my personal experience) says it should be in same coloured slots. How ever moving a ram block the system refused to boot
Q: I'm thinking maybe that's only true for "paried" modules, or should I be hitting the "everything is fine, ignore ram errors" button?
