I'm not aware of an AMD/ATI Radeon card which doesn't need nonfree
firmware. The in-tree firmware in kernel goes back until ATI Radeon
R100[0], out-tree (linux-firmware.git) are all cards who run the amdgpu,
radeon or r600 kernel driver. So no card without nonfree firmware in the
last ~20 years...
There could be some Nvidia cards who doesn't need nonfree firmware
according to [1]. It have to be before Geforce 8000[2].
AFAIK Intel integrated GPUs didn't need nonfree firmware.
