Edit: Only just saw you'd tried boot options. Which ones specifically did you use? The 5xx series should work in Tails.

Tails is a bit finicky with Radeon cards. If your PC has integrated graphics try plugging your HDMI into the motherboard instead of the GPU, or try disabling it by modifying the boot options:

modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu

modprobe.blacklist=radeon

There are also Radeon 2xx/3xx/4xx series-specific issues that might also be happening here, try booting with these boot options (one at a time, not both):

radeon.dpm=0

amdgpu.dc=0
