Made a significant change: AOS4.1FE instead of update 6, R9 270 (Southern Islands) instead of HD5870 and a Juli@ PCIeX1 instead of the onboard audio, Warp3D_si.
The result:
Previouslly everything video related worked great on Lubuntu and not so great on AOS - now it is the opposite because of better support on AOS and no support on Linux.
Previouslly I had no spdif output from the onboard sound on AOS and AC3/DTS on Lubuntu - now it is the opposite: I can finally get output from the digital output of the Juli@ (including DTS-audio via PCM!) on AOS and no AC3/DTS passthrough on that card on Linux while it outputs PCM via spdif just fine.

Re: The strangeness that is amigaland
Astonishingly enough. I, too, have found greater performance under AOS with the R7 250x card than when I ran the Radeon HD 6670. I am also seeing the newer Radeon cards R7 370 and R9 370 boasting a Buss Width of 256, PCIe 3.0 x16 GDDR5 VRAM. Codename: Curacao, Architecture: GCN-1.0.
Wondering if these two cards will give optimal performance under AOS as well with current drivers and Warp-si. They are roughly in the price range and power performance. 1 ea. 6 pin power connector. Min. 500 watt power supply. Could be worth a try.
Cheers!!
