Straight from AMD's site. Unlike nvidia, AMD actually have a clear support for Linux.

If you don't know what that is, then you almost certainly don't need it.

...Or just explain it as equivalence to CUDA, which is allowing the GPU to accelerate compute loads like rendering and scientific loops.

 

Gatekeeping such trivial thing to explain just dont make sense.

I installed Ubuntu 20.04, download drivers from AMD site but i can't install it. I have low resolution because GPU drivers not installed.

From what I've googled, it seems you need to upgrade to Ubuntu 21.04 to get the up-to-date kernel with out-of-the-box support for your GPU. Before that though, search "Additional drivers" in your settings, maybe it will give you and option to install drivers for your card without the need to upgrade the system.

 

Do not try to install a proprietary driver from AMD website. I tried once for OpenCL stuff, that was super painful, and, as mentioned above, completely unnecessary.

If it's not for workstation use, as in you don't need OpenCL, you shouldn't need to install any drivers. You may however need to be on a newer version of Ubuntu such as 21.04

 

If it's for workstation use, as in you need OpenCL.

• Download this driver, https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-6000-series/amd-radeon-6700-series/amd-radeon-rx-6700-xt
• Follow This Guide, https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

 

Most things in Linux are not built against AMDGPU-PRO, so it is generally not recommended. In Gaming scenarios, it can actually perform worse than the open-source driver.

AMDGPU-PRO mostly exists as a shared driver implementation between Windows and Linux, much like NVIDIA's proprietary driver.

How to solve problem like this?  In Windows i never had this.

 

In Ubuntu 20.04 without GPU drivers i don't have artifacts.

[Slo2020]

GPU drivers was problem in Ubuntu 21.04. No more artifacts.

PPA third-party repository

If you absolutely insist to have the latest AMD Radeon driver version you may use the PPA third-party repository which might be always ahead of the stable default opensource driver coming with your Ubuntu 20.04 system as default. To install the PPA third-party repository drivers execute the following commands:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers

The above will add the PPA AMD Radeon driver repository to your system. The following command will upgrade your current AMD Radeon driver to the latest version:

$ sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade
