Support for older AMD Radeon Polaris GPUs
It would be very useful for us users who own RX 400-500 series GPUs to have official support for cycles GPU rendering since these series of graphics cards are very capable and that not all users have Vega or RDNA series of GPUs from AMD.

Unfortunately that is not something that Blender developers can easily work on, it is up to AMD developers.
Even the latest graphics cards often require unreleased, beta drivers in order to work. With the 400 series released over 7 years ago, it's probably not on AMD's interest to spend resources in supporting it. Luckily we can always use Blender 2.93 LTS .
500 series (includes the RX 580) crying in the corner.
Let this happen! I totally support this!!!
