How To Install Amd Drivers Ubuntu 16.04

Introduction

AMDGPU is AMD's open source graphics commuter for the latest AMD Radeon graphics cards. Information technology is a compliment to the open source Radeon driver, which works with graphics cards non supported past AMDGPU. AMDGPU is under intense development in coordination with the larger open source community. AMDGPU supports a growing number of cards, but will not be bachelor for pre-GCN (Graphics Cadre Next) architecture cards. This means that equally evolution progresses, some select cards every bit far back every bit HD 7000 cards volition be supported. No Hard disk drive 6000 or prior cards will be supported.

Support for AMDGPU begins with Ubuntu xvi.04 - which, incidentally, does not support fglrx - but it is also bachelor for Ubuntu 14.04.5 with the HWE stack Xenial (check if the xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu package is installed).

AMDGPU-PRO is the open source AMDGPU driver with a proprietary overlay. What this means is that AMD's "proprietary" driver will exist based on its open source driver!

This guide shows you how to use the open up source AMDGPU driver for some AMD graphics cards and APUs.

Identifying your graphics carte or APU

First, check your graphic bill of fare name and chipset:

            sudo update-pciids #optional command, requires cyberspace

            lspci -nn | grep -E 'VGA|Display'

It should written report something similar this for your graphics card and/or APU:

            01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Avant-garde Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV710 [Radeon Hard disk drive 4550]

If the study shows two different hardware devices, then you probably accept a "hybrid graphics" system, with an iGP (integrated graphics processor inside the CPU) and a dedicated GPU.

Supported hardware

All these AMD graphics cards and APUs have skilful 3D acceleration back up. This is not an exhaustive list.

*ane → Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 with kernel Linux 4.4.0: if you lot find problems with the Radeon R7 M260/M265 (Topaz) or R9 M395X (Tonga) graphics cards, y'all can try to:

• install the latest HWE stack in Ubuntu 16.04 (or install direct the latest Ubuntu 16.04.X LTS iso);

• install a newer release of Ubuntu;

• install Ubuntu fourteen.04 (with kernel Linux 3.13.0) + proprietary fglrx driver.

*two → it has been reported that the Radeon RX 550 graphics card does non work with the AMDGPU commuter pre-installed in Ubuntu. To solve the trouble y'all can install the AMDGPU-Pro commuter (available for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS only).

HDMI sound

The open source AMDGPU driver does not support (for at present) the HDMI audio. To solve this problem, y'all tin can install che "hybrid" AMDGPU-Pro driver from AMD, available in this folio.

RadeonDriver - The Wiki page for the open source Radeon driver.

BinaryDriverHowto/AMD - The Wiki page for the proprietary AMD/ATI driver "fglrx" which also offers 3D acceleration, and works on newer cards than the "radeon" driver. Since it'southward closed-source, simply AMD tin piece of work on it and give efficient support, and the open up-source customs can generally not help you with problems.
