AMDGPU-PRO Beta Mining Driver 17.40 for mining on Linux

Therefore, we are facing a launch that is aimed at a very specific audience, those users interested in mining virtual currencies and who also want to do so under the Tux domain. For now we do not know if the fact of mining under Linux has any advantage over doing it under Windows. This new driver is mainly focused on improving the mining performance on the Radeon RX Vega 64, Radeon RX Vega 56, Radeon RX 580 and Radeon RX 480 cards, that is, those based on the Polaris and Vega architectures.
