Download Driver For AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition Linux 15.11

AMD has also released a new generation of drivers for Linux called Radeon Software Crimson Edition. The drivers are only suitable for the HD 7750 and higher, the HD 8570 and higher, and of course the cards from the R5, R7 and R9 series. Downloads are available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ubuntu, but SuSE is also supported. However, the Linux version does not bring the many and big changes that the Windows driver does show.
