AMDGPU is AMD's fully open source unified graphics driver for Linux.[3] AMDGPU officially supports cards built upon GCN 1.2 or higher, though (As of 2021) support for GCN 1.0/1.1 is incomplete,[4] it can be enabled by a kernel parameter[5][6] and some Linux distributions enabled it by default.[7]

AMDGPU also has an optional closed-source component, which operates on top of the open source AMDGPU for alternative 3D application support, known as AMDGPU-PRO.[8]
