AMDGPU with Display Core was first implemented for VEGA10 (GCN5.0) and RAVEN (with DCN 1.0) GPUs/APUs. Kernels before version 4.17 have (experimental) DC support for older cards (GCN1.1 and newer) via command line option amdgpu.dc=1, which may work better than the older radeon kernel module.

Amdgpu-experimental on kernel 5.10 - Kernel - Manjaro Linux Forum
March 2, 2021 - I have to use the amdgpu-experimental drivers to get Vulkan support on this video card, which is very important for performance-related reasons on my setup. This setup works both on kernel 5.4 and on kernel 5.9. I just installed the package, I’ve heard about kernel modules and blacklisti...

AMDGPU Experimental support has been removed - Linux Mint Forums
AMD have been threatening to do this for quite a while and now they have, amdgpu-experimental support for GCN 1.0 hardware is no longer available with current 5.10 or 5.18 kernels for LMDE at least. radeon works okay so I have now permanently removed the entries from grub that forced amdgpu to load instead.

r/PeppermintOS on Reddit: How do I switch from radeon to amdgpu drivers?
January 10, 2023 -
If I run lspci -nnk | grep -i -EA3 "3d|display|vga" I get this:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Hawaii XT / Grenada XT [Radeon R9 290X/390X] [1002:67b0] Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. R9 290X DirectCU II [1043:046a] Kernel driver in use: radeon Kernel modules: radeon, amdgpu
so I am using radeon, however I wanted to change to amdgpu. How would I change to amdgpu?

Debug options for amdgpu, work as a binary mask with the following options: 0x1: Debug VM handling · 0x2: Enable simulating large-bar capability on non-large bar system. This limits the VRAM size reported to ROCm applications to the visible size, usually 256MB. 0x4: Disable GPU soft recovery, always do a full reset · 0x8: Use VRAM for firmware loading · 0x10: Enable ACA based RAS logging · 0x20: Enable experimental resets ·
