AMD Radeon™ Graphics Support

Starting in 19.Q2, AMD is including Radeon products in our PRO Edition driver. This is being
done in consideration of the fact that enterprises use both professional, commercial, and
consumer hardware. This driver is recommended for Radeon hardware being used in
commercial use cases with productivity applications. This includes users who need to review
CAD data as part of their workflow. It is not recommended for gaming. Workstation
performance, features, and application certifications do not apply to Radeon hardware and no
end user benefit will be observed without Radeon PRO hardware.
