Linux 4.5 AMDGPU Kernel

– How to install any version of Linux Kernel on Ubuntu

Yesterday we posted an article with the benchmarks Comparing the proprietary driver with the open source driver in games and we observed that in general the AMDGPU (open source) still does not offer the same quality, but fortunately it is gradually improving. With the release on Linux 4.5 Kernel we will have an improvement in this regard.

In Kernel version 4.5 experimental support for Powerplay has been added to AMDGPU, this should improve power management for Noteobooks and also slightly improve gaming performance. In addition to optimizing the AMD driver, the new kernel version improves Btrfs file system scalability support.
