What happened

Over the past year Timur Kristóf of Valve's Linux graphics driver team has made multiple very nice improvements to the AMDGPU kernel driver for enhancing support for old (GCN 1.0/1.1 era from a decade ago) graphics cards so that they can better handle Linux gaming and other tasks. AMD is an electrical and semiconductor company based in Sunnyvale, founded in 1969, and its products and services include graphics processing units.
