Comment (by Krejzi):
This driver is required for all GCN 1.2 video cards (Volcanic Islands). It
will also be required for the upcoming Polaris cards.
GCN 1.1 support is experimental and disabled by default, as you've already
noticed (Sea Islands).
I recently got myself a new laptop with Intel Skylake GT2 Graphics and an
AMD Radeon R7 M340, which appears to be a Volcanic Islands GPU. So far, I
was unable to get X to start when xf86-video-amdgpu is present, so I keep
the GPU disabled entirely.
R9 285 is Hawaii is not supported by default. R9 380 is Tonga, which is
supported. Radeon wiki page is a bit misleading on this. And AMD devs are
too lazy and/or too busy to update it.
From what I've found, the following Graphics cards use this driver:
R5 3xx series[[br]]
R7 3xx series[[br]]
R9 3xx series[[br]]
R9 Fury (Fiji)
All Carrizo APU graphics (I guess they aren't yet released).
You can examine the kernel firmware directory to see the engineering names
which are supported by amdgpu:
