AMD dGPUs Supporting Interlaced Output via the Linux amdgpu Driver

❌ Excluded dGPUs – Sea Islands (GCN 2.x / DCE 8.x)

These GPUs are based on the Sea Islands architecture (GCN 2.x) and do not support interlaced video output under the amdgpu driver, despite the hardware being GCN-class. Interlace modes fail to activate or are not exposed at all.

Known Unsupported Chips and Products:

  • Bonaire – Radeon HD 7790, R7 260, R7 260X
  • Hawaii – Radeon R9 290, 290X, 295X2, R9 390, 390X
  • Mullins / Kabini / Kaveri (APU-class, listed above)
  • FirePro (Sea Islands variants):
    • FirePro W8100
    • FirePro W9100
    • FirePro S9000
    • FirePro S9150
    • FirePro S9170

🛑 Note: These GPUs use DCE 8.x display engines which are known to lack interlace support via amdgpu, even though they are sometimes loadable using overrides or specific kernel options.

  • Carrizo-L (2015) – Puma+ + GCN 1.2

⚠️ APUs With Unconfirmed Interlace Support

These APUs may work with the amdgpu driver, but interlaced modes are unverified and not officially supported in arcade-focused Linux environments.

  • Bristol Ridge (2016) – Excavator + GCN 1.2
  • Mendocino (2022) – Zen 2 + RDNA 2

📝 Notes

  • Interlace support
  • Output via DP only; no native analog on more modern cards where DVI-I/VGA is missing.
  • Embedded and OEM variants use the same silicon and thus inherit support.
