This guide shows you how to use the open source AMDGPU driver for some AMD graphics cards and APUs. What this means is that AMD's "proprietary" driver will be based on its open source driver! Support for AMDGPU begins with Ubuntu 16.04 - which, incidentally, does not support fglrx - but it is also available for Ubuntu 14.04.5 with the HWE stack Xenial (check if the xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu package is installed).ĪMDGPU-PRO is the open source AMDGPU driver with a proprietary overlay. No HD 6000 or prior cards will be supported.
This means that as development progresses, some select cards as far back as HD 7000 cards will be supported. AMDGPU supports a growing number of cards, but will not be available for pre-GCN (Graphics Core Next) architecture cards.
AMDGPU is under intense development in coordination with the larger open source community. It is a compliment to the open source Radeon driver, which works with graphics cards not supported by AMDGPU. AMDGPU is AMD's open source graphics driver for the latest AMD Radeon graphics cards.
