According to GPU Check, the RX570 was able to run games at 1080p and 144 Hz on a 24" ViewSonic XG240R gaming monitor. While not 180Hz, it's comparable. The RX570 has recommended resolutions of 1920x1080, 2560x1440, or 3840x2160 as well. It seems like it's a solid choice based on your needs and isn't insanely expensive either.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm assuming you're running a Linux hypervisor with kvm and just the vm is Apple.
I can't attest to the performance of the GPU, but you will encounter a different problem -- the "AMD reset bug". You will not be able to reboot the VM without rebooting the host as the GPU doesn't know how to properly reset itself and will go in a unrecoverable state upon VM reboot. There is a kernel module called vendor-reset that mostly fixes the issue, but I'm not 100% sure it still works on newer kernels (it also contains a much better explanation of the issue and has a table with the affected hardware).
tl;dr If you're buying a new board, I would avoid this specific model.
Thanks for the input, I’ll look more into this before buying any new hardware.
Please consider that KVM could possibly be a limiting factor for such high frequencies.
I don't know, but just guessing.
I tried to run a Mac VM recently on an amd 6700xt on Hyprland, and it went pretty well. I had a few issues like needing to pass my mouse through and toggle back and forth and it crashed once and took the desktop session with it lol outside of that it was interesting. I mainly run waydroid and windows in a VM for certain software needs.
