4 Usable for graphics output since kernel 4.15.

2 Support is optional in the kernel and must be activated with DRM_AMDGPU_CIK=y, otherwise the older radeon driver provides stable support for Sea Islands (GCN2.x) cards. Stable support for GCN1.x can be found in the older radeon driver. 1 Experimental, optional support since kernel 4.9-rc1. B The actual Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) is defined by the Display Core Engine (DCE), which was superseded by Display Core Next (DCN), introduced with the Raven Ridge APUs (mobile Vega graphics core). It was superseded by RDNA, short for Radeon DNA, introduced with the Radeon RX 5000 series (NAVI) in 2019. GCN stands for Graphics Core Next and was introduced with the Radeon HD7000 series (GCN1.0). Renoir, Lucienne, and Cezanne APU series 6 RX Vega 56, RX Vega 64, Radeon Vega II, Radeon VII There is also support for VDPAU and VAAPI via radeonsi.ĬAPE VERDE, PITCAIRN, TAHITI, OLAND, HAINAN Via media-libs/mesa (version 20.0 or higher) the driver additionally supports Vulkan ( RADV driver) and OpenCL 2.0 is available via ROCm ( dev-libs/rocm-opencl-runtime). The VIDEO_CARDS variable must be set to "amdgpu radeonsi". Video cores supported by the AMDGPU driver feature OpenGL 4.6 and OpenGL ES 3.2. Use lspci for this task:Ĭheck the output for one of the product names listed in the table below. To choose the right driver, first detect the graphics card. Setting up a system to use AMDGPU requires identifying the proper card, installing the corresponding firmware, configuring the kernel, and installing the X11 driver.
