cant use amdgpu driver on my dedicated gpu.

[SOLVED] so this is my first post here sorry if i do anything wrong.
i followed amdgpu installtion wiki and now its working on my primary display device.
but my dedicated gpu is using radeon driver
im giving my kernel gpu names here  -
0 0:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Mullins [Radeon R4/R5 Graphics] (rev 45)
    Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Mullins [Radeon R4/R5 Graphics]
    Kernel driver in use: amdgpu
    Kernel modules: radeon, amdgpu
the upper one my primary display device
here is the dedicated one  -
01:00.0 Display controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Sun XT [Radeon HD 8670A/8670M/8690M / R5 M330 / M430 / Radeon 520 Mobile] (rev 83)
    Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Sun XT [Radeon HD 8670A/8670M/8690M / R5 M330 / M430 / Radeon 520 Mobile]
    Kernel driver in use: radeon
    Kernel modules: radeon, amdgpu
i also tried to blacklist the radeon driver then no driver was loading

From what I can see, that's a GCN 1.0/Southern Island card. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU … K)_support
