You mean because of the row
| AMD | Radeon HD 8000 | Sea Islands | Not supported |
in "Tested hardware matrix"?

This is very misleading!
With marketing name "HD 8000" there are 4 generations from "Evergreen" 
to "Sea Islands". Only "Sea Islands" is not supported.
"Aruba" is TeraScale 3/VLIW4 like "CAYMAN" which is "Northern Islands" 
generation and should work.
