Yep, just blacklist radeon and amdgpu should be loaded instead.

thanks for answering but is it necessary to configure CIK or SI?

Not sure, can’t really find what GCN architecture is used. Your hardware information is too little, just name the full model instead of just the GPU.

This is?

model           : 48
model name      : AMD A8-7410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics

btw i blacklist radeon, when i reboot its just stuck at Reached Graphical interface
I already tried blacklist radeon, add amdgpu to kernel module and still not loaded

Ok I just found the answer:

so to find out if CIK or SI is run the command sudo dmesg | grep amdgpu

if the output is
[..] amdgpu 0000:01:00.0: Use radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 to override.
it means CIK

after that i just follow this Arch WIki

FYI, we have a package that will automate that called amdgpu-experimental.
