AMDgpu officially supports cards built upon [[Graphics Core Next|GCN 1.2]] or higher (including new instruction sets such as RDNA1-2).<br>Though {{as of|2021|lc=y}} support for GCN 1.0/1.1 is incomplete,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Defaulting Radeon GCN 1.0/1.1 GPUs To Better Linux Driver Is Held Up By Analog Outputs|url=https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=AMDGPU-GCN-1.0-Analog-Block|url-status=live|access-date=2021-03-09|website=Phoronix}}</ref> it can be enabled by a kernel parameter<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=AMDGPU-SI-Experimental-Code|title=AMD Unleashes Initial AMDGPU Driver Support For GCN 1.0 / Southern Islands GPUs|work=Phoronix|date=2016-05-13|access-date=2017-04-05}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=AMDgpu driver documentation|url=https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/gpu/amdgpu.html|website=Freedesktop.org}}</ref> and some [[Linux distribution|Linux distributions]] enabled it by default.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Mageia 8 RC1 Brings AMDGPU For GCN 1.0/1.1, NVIDIA GLVND, Linux 5.10 LTS|url=https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Mageia-8-RC1-Released|url-status=live|access-date=2021-03-09|website=Phoronix}}</ref>
