My desktop has an R9 Nano (using a GCN 1.2 aka Fiji core) from 2015. I've been using AMDGPU since Linux 4.5 and couldn't be happier. Everything that I do works as intended, from desktop compositing to Minecraft to Steam games (no AAA stuff, but e.g. Cities Skylines and Portal 2 work flawlessly).

(Haven't tested OpenCL, multi-monitor and HDMI audio, though.)

So IMO, if your GPU is supported by the AMDGPU driver, by all means give it a try.

Do you get playable frame rates? Cities: Skylines pretty quickly falls to 20-30 fps even with a recent Nvidia card with closed Windows drivers, wondering how is the experience with AMDGPU.
