## AMD Radeon GPU support
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
While AMD has contributed the `amdgpu` driver upstream to the official linux
|
|
||||||
kernel source, the version is older and may not support all ROCm features. We
|
|
||||||
recommend you install the latest driver from
|
|
||||||
https://www.amd.com/en/support/linux-drivers for best support of your Radeon
|
|
||||||
GPU.
