Hello. I have a laptop with dual graphics. intel and amd I have a discrete video card Radeon 530. It is defined as Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Topaz XT [Radeon R7 M260/M265] . But on the site Xorg amd ( https://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/ )
other information is given: Volcanic Islands TONGA, ICELAND / TOPAZ, CARRIZO, FIJI, STONEY, POLARIS10, POLARIS11, POLARIS12, VEGAM R9 285.
(r9!!!)
That is, as r9. I also know that graphics processors with the codename Topaz have been produced since 2014. But my video card was released in 2017. And it has a lot of modern bells and whistles. Since I play games, but windows can't stand it, I would like to know. Can I somehow improve the performance of my video card?
And yet, Solus is the best distribution for my hardware. Compared with Ubuntu and Arch linux.

AMD frequently cascade GPU SKUs (same product, lower number) when they release new architectures. Your GPU was first introduced as the HD 87XXM in 2013 and is a 1st Gen GCN card (Southern Islands 28nm). It was respun as the R7 M260 in 2014, the R7 M360 in 2015, and both the R7 M460 and R7 M465 in 2016. To make matters more confusing, the same GPU design was used for the desktop 8XXX series (8570/8670), R5 240, R7 240 and 250, R5 330, R5 340, R7 340 and 350, R5 430 and 435, R7 430 and 435, and most recently, the 530.

I'm sure AMD have made small improvements each year that this design was rebranded (looks like at least memory and clockspeeds), but overall, it's still the same feature set and architecture as the Radeon 8XXX series in 2013. There's only so much that can be done to improve its performance.

    But why the same games on Windows are going fine, but not on Linux.
    The same Metro Exodus. On a laptop!
    So, as I understand it, the AMD company simply does not want to make a normal driver for Linux under my video card?!
    Sadly
    I rummaged a lot of forums on my subject.
    Information on this video card is very small.
    Tried a lot of distros.
    It's a pity.

    Thanks to all. Yet Solus is the best.

          So, I did configure the drivers for my video card perfectly well!
          I will remind a configuration of my hardware.
          Graphics:
          Device-1: Intel HD Graphics 620 driver: i915 v: kernel
          Device-2: AMD Topaz XT [Radeon R7 M260/M265 / M340/M360 / M440/M445]
          driver: amdgpu v: kernel
          Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.3 driver: amdgpu,ati,intel
          unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa resolution: 1920x108060Hz
          OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel HD Graphics 620 (Kaby Lake GT2)
          v: 4.5 Mesa 19.0.4
          10-amdgpu.conf file:
          Section "OutputClass"
          Identifier "AMDgpu"
          MatchDriver "amdgpu"
          Driver "amdgpu"
          Option "DRI" "3"
          Option "TearFree" "true"
          Option "VariableRefresh" "true"
          Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
          Option "ShadowPrimary" "true"
          EndSection
          10-radeon.conf file:
          Section "OutputClass"
          Identifier "Radeon"
          MatchDriver "radeon"
          Driver "radeon"
          Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
          Option "RenderAccel" "on"
          Option "ColorTiling" "on"
          Option "EXAVSync" "off"
          Option "EXAPixmaps" "on"
          EndSection
          It really works!
