AMDGPU-PRO 16.60 is now officially available for AMD GPU owners and it adds support for even more cards including GCN 1.0.
It might not cover the whole of GCN 1.0, as their generations and naming schemes are mixed in together. Some cards in the same series are from different generations, for example. Cards like the 7900 series still aren't listed.
Newly supported cards as of this release:
AMD Radeon™ R7 M260/M265/M340/M350/M365/M370/M380/M465/M465X
AMD Radeon™ R7 240/250/250X/260/260X/350
AMD Radeon™ HD7700/7800/8500/8600
AMD Radeon™ HD7700M/7800M/8500M/8530M/8600M/8700M/8790M/8800M
Issues fixed:
- Hard-hangs are sometimes observed during display hot-plug.
- Launching Steam client sometimes causes system hang.
- Rendering error in glxgears in performance mode.
Features supported:
- Supported APIs:
* OpenGL 4.5 and GLX 1.4
* OpenCL™1.2
* Vulkan™ 1.0
* VDPAU
- Basic display features
- Basic power management features
- KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) and ADF (Atomic Display Framework) support
- GPL compliant kernel module
- FirePro™ Features (EDID Management and 30-bit color)
- FreeSync support (Please refer to this FAQ for more information)
- DirectGMA for OpenGL
You can find the release notes here.

I wonder if there is something particular difficult or wrong with the 79x0 series that it is not supported by that release?

00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Mullins [Radeon R4/R5 Graphics] [1002:9851] (rev 05) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
So, is that in there or what? :P These naming-problems are ridiculous!
Anyway, is there any real performance benefit yet, going AMDGPU?

Hey, guys, the open source driver are still better in a lot of cases, unless you have special needs, of course.
I need to upgrade my old card (will probably build a whole new rig), I saw the Furry X at 250€, same price as the 480. Should I buy one of these? (which?), or wait for vega? (I do not plan to spend more than ~350 anyway, 250 is OK.
