[SOLVED]Oland XT [Radeon HD 8670 / R7 250/350] driver help

I have this gpu ( Oland XT [Radeon HD 8670 / R7 250/350] ), and I am using OS driver "radeon" (xf86-video-ati) and if I am right, this chip is not supported by "amdgpu" new opensource driver? What bothers me is it that gpu chip supported by amdgpu-pro driver and is there any difference?

Your cpu appears to be a Southern Islands card, or GCN 1st generation .
The amdgpu  wiki page has useful info.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

(A works at time B)  && (time C > time B ) ≠  (A works at time C)

OK, that info is all I need,....gcn first generation... Thanks

Interesting, I just installed xf86-video-amdgpu (xorg driver) and blacklist radeon, and now my GPU works with amdgpu...
