  It depends on the use case. AMD is notorious for their "AMD reset bug" when passing a GPU through to a VM using VFIO. Restart the guest and most cards will lock up because AMD doesn't handle PCI resets properly. You then need to reboot the host to fix it (!). This has been a problem since Polaris if not before and AMD hasn't fixed it, despite knowing full well that the problem exists. At least in this regard, NVIDIA (and Intel as far as I know) work fine.

  The community has been able to come up with a workaround for some older cards but the problem persists even in their current cards.

  I have the vendor-reset fix. I have disabled resizable bar, and I have added the fix for the AMD driver detecting the VM in the XML file.

  I’m not sure what you mean by forwarding, but if you mean regular gpu passthrough and the reset bugs with amd gpus, then for the rx580 vendor-reset should typically work: https://github.com/gnif/vendor-reset

  Does not work with the lower 6000 (below 6800) and 7000 series that can also have reset issues.

  Just an update installing vendor-reset to counteract the amd gpu reset bug fixed my issues completely. Are you running an amd gpu by chance, it may be worth a shot to try it. https://github.com/gnif/vendor-reset
