The firmware can be obtained by installing the firmware-amd-graphics package, as long as the non-free component is enabled in your SourcesList file. Proprietary, binary-only firmware (also known as microcode) is not allowed in the main Debian repository as per the Debian Free Software Guidelines. The older Radeon driver does not support Vulkan or the ACO compiler and is often slower, but it is much more stable and is used by default. Since the AMDGPU driver overlaps with the older Radeon driver for supporting GCN 1.0/1.1 GPUs, either driver can be used. The ATI driver package will autodetect whether your hardware has a Radeon, Rage 128, or Mach64 and earlier chip and load the radeon, r128, or mach64 video driver as appropriate. Support for GCN 1.1 and older chips is also provided by the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver wrapper package, which depends on three hardware-specific driver packages: GCN 1.0 and GCN 1.1 cards (Manufactured January 2012 to June 2015) are supported experimentally and require extra kernel parameters to be set, as documented in the experimental section. This generation consists of most chips released after June 2015. This will officially cover any cards that are part of GCN 1.2 ('GCN 3rd generation') or newer. Support for newer AMD graphics hardware is provided by the xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu package. See HowToIdentifyADevice/PCI for more information.
