I am new to Ubuntu (19.10) and love it!
I read on a PC hardware supplier site that currently (mid-March 2020) there are no Linux drivers for the "6GB Sapphire Radeon RX 5600 XT Pulse Aktiv" graphics card.

  • Is this true?
  • Will there be a driver by the time Ubuntu 20.04 is released?
  • Where would I find the driver?

NOTE: I have not purchased this graphics card yet, so I cannot test anything. I want to know if it is safe to make this purchase. My only requirement would be UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution on a single monitor. I am not a gamer but I watch videos (in Full HD).

UPDATE:

No Linux drivers for RX 5600 XT are listed here:
https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-5600-series/amd-radeon-rx-5600-series/amd-radeon-rx-5600-xt

And under RX 5500 XT there is a driver for Ubuntu 18.04 and the Release Notes (under Product Compatibility) state it's for the "AMD Radeon™ RX 5700/5500 Series Graphics". So it seems that RX 5600 XT is unsupported.

It is correct that there currently are no official drivers for the AMD 5600 XT on their website but, nonetheless, the open source AMDGPU drivers work just fine and I have no problem with the Graphics Card with two UHD 60fps screens. My guess is, that they will ship the official driver with the official release of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (April 23rd).
