In addition to the regular Radeon Software drivers, which are aimed at regular users and gamers, AMD has a set of special PRO Edition drivers. These receive far fewer updates, as their main goal is to deliver ‘market-leading uptime and stability’. AMD focuses on PRO Edition drivers for creative professionals and other customers who demand top quality, performance, security and simplicity. If you belong to such users, it’s time to install a new version.
Version 24.Q4 is now available for download. It includes several solutions for professional software such as Autodesk Fusion 360, DaVinci Resolve, Ansys and more. Here is the changelog:
- While installing AMD Software: PRO Edition, an occasional application crash may occur in Autodesk Fusion 360.
- An intermittent application crash may be observed in DaVinci Resolve after importing media into a timeline while RivaTuner Statistics Server is running in the background.
- Cannot render models while using Leica Cyclone 3DR Viewer.
- Ansys may malfunction when performing sRGB gamma correction tests.
AMD also notes that version 24.Q4 is the last to support Windows Server 2019. Future updates will require Windows Server 2022 and newer:
Support for Microsoft Windows Server 2019 will be discontinued after this release. We recommend that users upgrade to Microsoft Windows Server 2022 to continue receiving AMD Software: PRO Edition updates.
Unlike Nvidia’s Studio Drivers, AMD Software: PRO Edition does not work on consumer cards. It is only compatible with the Radeon PRO W 7000 Series, Radeon PRO 6000 Series, Radeon PRO WX, Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, Radeon PRO Duo (Polaris), Radeon PRO VII, and select Lenovo Mobile and HP laptops.
You can download AMD Software: PRO Edition 24.Q4 from the official website. Release notes are available on the same page.
