Phoronix: Catalyst 15.7 Bring Multi-Device Support For OpenCL 2.0, Carrizo Improvements

The Catalyst 15.7 Linux graphics driver was just released, one day longer than anticipated...

Also includes support for OpenGL 4.5 and OpenGL perf improvements. I am seeing ~10% perf improvements in CSGO and ~45% perf improvements in Dota 2 Reborn with a Radeon R9 285, haven't tried other games yet. I am also hearing about OpenCL perf improvements.

Also, native Ubuntu packages are avaible again:

Download Ubuntu (32-bit): http://support.amd.com/en-us/downloa...=Ubuntu+x86+32
Download Ubuntu (64-bit): http://support.amd.com/en-us/downloa...=Ubuntu+x86+64

only 3.19 kernel, the catalyst in ubuntu 15.10 already had a patch for 4.0,... the years pass and nothing change

You AMD are too lazy my next card will be green, enough of this stupid driver

I think they lack more man power that they are lazy...

Your contribution to worsen the situation just a little more.

I think with every release there are less things to complain about... Is there any other driver for any other vendor for any OS which supports both OpenGL 4.5 and OpenCL 2.0?

Good news, Seem to have another bump in perf with these AMD seem to be doing something good.

One question :
It seems that this driver supports Fury GPU
But it doesn't support the kernels above 3.19
Or, AFAIK this driver should use the new AMDGPU kernel driver in order to support Fiji (and tonga) GPU, wich is only available with the latest kernels...
Did I miss something?

This has nothing to do with AMDGPU. Catalyst-OpenGL addon for AMDGPU is coming in late 2015/2016.
