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
