GCN 1) and Sea Islands (HD 8000 Series, CIK, ie. The linux package enables AMDGPU support for cards of the Southern Islands (HD 7000 Series, SI, ie.

Enable Southern Islands (SI) and Sea Islands (CIK) support Tip: Users who do not wish to go through the process of compiling the mesa-git AUR package can use the mesa-git unofficial repository. This should not be required if building mesa-git AUR from the AUR. Optionally install the lib32-vulkan-radeon-git package for 32-bit application support.

For Vulkan support using the mesa-git repository below, install the vulkan-radeon-git package.

For the DDX driver (which provides 2D acceleration in Xorg), install the xf86-video-amdgpu-git AUR package.

For 32-bit application support, also install the lib32-mesa-git AUR package from the mesa-git repository or the AUR.

Install the mesa-git AUR package, which provides the DRI driver for 3D acceleration. It may be worthwhile for some users to use the upstream experimental build of mesa, to enable features such as AMD Navi improvements that have not landed in the standard mesa packages. Support for accelerated video decoding is provided by libva-mesa-driver and lib32-libva-mesa-driver for VA-API and mesa-vdpau and lib32-mesa-vdpau packages for VDPAU.

When the amdvlk package is installed, it sets itself as the default Vulkan driver: see Vulkan#Selecting via environment variable if you need to have both drivers installed.

Try vulkan-radeon first for running games, as amdvlk has repeatedly been reported as broken for this purpose.

Optionally install the lib32-vulkan-radeon or lib32-amdvlk package for 32-bit application support.

For Vulkan support, install the vulkan-radeon or amdvlk package.

For the DDX driver (which provides 2D acceleration in Xorg), install the xf86-video-amdgpu package.

For 32-bit application support, also install the lib32-mesa package from the multilib repository.Install the mesa package, which provides the DRI driver for 3D acceleration.

Owners of unsupported GPUs may use the open source ATI driver.

AMD has no plans to support pre-GCN GPUs. This driver supports Southern Islands (SI) cards and later. AMDGPU is the open source graphics driver for AMD Radeon graphics cards from the Graphics Core Next family.ĭepending on the card you have, find the right driver in Xorg#AMD.
