Just reporting about AMDGPU-PRO v17.50 drivers.

The driver architecture seems to have evolved, and some option seems to install new opensource components (from Vulkan, ROCm OpenCL libs - Phoronix make article on that), but you can install legacy version.

I've installed with deprecated option on latest Ubuntu LTS update 16.04.3, kernel 4.10
./amdgpu-pro-install -y --compute
(in fact: ./amdgpu-pro-install -y --headless --opencl=legacy )
It finally worked nice, with no change in performance

however big warning: do clean uninstall before. I had initially installed the full amdgpu-pro with X11, then the --compute version headless, and when I installed v17.50 in compute mode, it could not compile the driver, and there was broken dependencies in apt-get... finally I hade to use dpkg --purge on all amdgpu related components, especially X11 libs, opencl libs...

Anyway, I see no improvement. is there some improvement to expect with v17.50 ? I use -mode 1 -asm 2 -etha 1 fro RX480/580... is there some prefered settings today ?

best regards.

I was on 17.40 , updated to v17.50 , installed without any problem however, my GPU (RX580) was not detected. I can see it lspci | grep VGA but claymore can't see , neither rocm-smi can see it.

Removed it and installed 17.40, now it can't install, giving some kernel related error that this is not made for this 4.11 (rocm kernel). So I don't have any AMDGPU-pro driver but on reboot card is detected and its working with same hash I was getting previously.

How following shows nothing.

Code:

dpkg -l amdgpu

But

Code:

lshdw -c video

shows amdgpu driver loaded for my GPU , how do I find which version is that ?
