Install the necessary packages

After installation enable the modules in configuration of Mkinitcpio. Open for this 

/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf

Add the amdgpu driver in modules variable:

 MODULES=(amdgpu)

Build now your kernels

mkinitcpio -P

Set the kernel parameter for SI/CIK Graphicscard support. 

radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1    



radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 

In addition, you can enable overclocking features with:

 amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xfffd7fff or amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff depending on the card.
