I'm running silentarmy on ubuntu 16.04 64bits with amdgpu-pro 16.50
mobo: sabertooth 990fx gen3
cpu:AMD FX(tm)-4130 Quad-Core Processor × 4
gpu:AMD Radeon HD 7970 3gb ddr
32go ddr

I can't mine with my gpu, silentarmy recognize only the amd fx 4130

The 7970 gpu is not supported by amdgpu-pro drivers.
You need fglrx driver. For that you need ubuntu 14.04 or experimental opencl driver for 16-04 https://community.amd.com/thread/202821
That driver works for me on ubuntu 16-04 and R9 280x gpu.
