Cryptocurrency mining is growing a lot and GPU developers as well as graphics card builders are very interested in mining Ethereum or Zcash. A few weeks ago, AMD launched specific drivers on the market, specifically, the AMDGPU-PRO Beta Mining Driver 17.40, which have now been brought to Linux, since the previous drivers were only for Windows. It is the first driver specified for mining that comes to this operating system, which improves the performance of graphics cards for mining a bit.

Those users who use their equipment for mining, playing games and other tasks, should refrain from installing them, as they are intended only for mining purposes, since these drivers are not capable of running 3D applications or games, causing the system to restart. These drivers are focused on the RX Vega 64, RX Vega 56, RX 580 and RX 480 graphics cards, although, it should be noted that it is not known if there is a noticeable difference between mining performance under Linux and under Windows, although it is possible that In the next few days, let yourself see an article comparing them.
