AMDGPU-PRO 17.10 is here a little over two months after the AMDGPU-PRO 16.60 release, which added support for AMD Radeon HD 7xxx/8xxx graphics cards. This version, however, appears to add support for Canonical’s latest Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system, but only for the 64-bit version of it. A couple of issues have been resolved as well in AMDGPU-PRO 17.10, such as system boot failures on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 operating systems when using Display Port 1.2, as well as periodic screen corruption during system restart if the AMD performance mode was to be switched manually.
