![]() ![]() I believe that most AMD Radeon user always use the most recent driver because this is the default update behavior of the AMD Radeon Software to install the latest available driver (20.5.1 in this case) even if it's flagged as BETA/Optional. I was talking from my own experience as a long time AMD Radeon user as well, so I guess I must be among those 0.01% that you didn't cover then as 9/10 times I have tried the optional download I have had problems, everything from graphical glitches, software crash to a full hard crash (rolling back to the recommended version typically fixed these problems). ![]() You can always find the most up-to-date URL for the software by checking the "DOWNLOAD NOW" button URL here : As a long time AMD Radeon GPU user here, I can assure you that 99,99% of the time, the Optional/Beta release bring more stability and more bug fixed than the most up-to-date WHQL driver available. That being said, the URL you provided is out-of-date. The Auto-Detect and Install Radeon™ Graphics Drivers for Windows is probably the best way to go. I used the auto detect link thinking that it may come in handy to support all cards as the above software directly detects GPU and its most recent stable Sure thing. The URL used in the original request URL is to the auto-detection tool and not the software being requested,Īnd the URL by is to the optional/beta release of the Radeon software (which is not generally recommended unless there are problems with the stable As a long time AMD Radeon GPU user here, I can assure you that 99,99% of the time, the Optional/Beta release bring more stability and more bug fixed than the most up-to-date WHQL driver available. Side-Note: The installer linked to in the OP comment is the auto-detection tool that is provided, the best option would be to install the correct driver installer instead of using the auto-detection tool (otherwise it would kind of defeat the purpose of creating a chocolatey package). This also means that the future maintainer would need to create a autohotkey script to automate the installation. This is also something that I found when I was looking into creating a package myself for the radeon graphics cards. The actual installer, unfortunately, does not have a silent switch that I have found. I think most if not all of the various AMD driver packages are nisis self extractors(which work with /S for silent installs) that extract then run the real installer.There are packages already out there that do these kind of custom logic, but I unfortunately don't have any for references right now. So the package may require some logic and/or a note about unsupported versionsĪgreed, if a package is created it would need to support all the current platforms that chocolatey also supports (that means everything from Windows 7 and up). The autodetect application is for windows 7 and 10 only, does not work for every graphics product(not for pro drivers for instance).For some cards, there are two versions available, both a stable version and a latest optional versionįrom what I have seen personally, the optional version is quite often a beta version, as such if the future maintainer want to support it he/she could possibly submit them as a pre-release. ![]()
