try to find deb package with linux-firmware or microcode - some debian
installs only provided thisb oackage in non-free repo (not activated by
default)

so a lot of users faced this problem but sadly AMD unable/unwilling to open
up those increasingly complex gpu-side firmwares...

https://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo#Firmware

===
Proprietary, binary-only firmware (also known as microcode) is not allowed
in the main Debian repository as per the Debian Free Software Guidelines.
The firmware can be obtained by installing the firmware-amd-graphics
package, as long as the non-free component is enabled in your SourcesList
file. The installation instructions below this section will document adding
this component and installing the necessary firmware.

Without this package installed, poor 2D/3D performance is commonly
experienced. Some GPUs may require firmware to function properly at all.
