Linux Driver Developer At Valve Preps More Patches For Improving AMD GCN 1.0 GPUs


Thirteen years after the AMD GCN 1.0 'Southern Islands' GPUs initially launched as the Radeon HD 7000 series, recently there has been an effort to improve the support for both GCN 1.0 and the GCN 1.1 graphics processors with their open-source Linux driver stack

Some of those patches from Timur are queued up for merging to the Linux 6.18 kernel while on Friday some additional work was posted. The new patches are to address some issues Timur observed recently with AMDGPU on GCN 1.0 Southern Islands hardware. Finally, there is a DC patch to change the minimum PLL dividers to the same value as the legacy non-DC display code.
