Instalar los drivers privativos de AMD Radeon en Ubuntu

Hi,

Well, my personal experience after maybe +40 hours in front of my computer.

1st: download old drivers. It has no use to download the latest one, because the kernel will say: NO THANKS!
wget –referer https://www.amd.com/es/support https://drivers.amd.com/drivers/linux/amdgpu-pro-18.40-673869-ubuntu-16.04.tar.xz

2nd: extract the file «tar -Jxvf amdgpu-pro-18.40-673869-ubuntu-16.04.tar.xz»

3st: install using the most common command: «./amdgpu-pro-install -y»

and thats all 🙂

Well, in my case I had nvidia + radeon, so it was more difficult indeed, but for nvidia was too easy, just delete old drivers and reinstall: «sudo apt-get install nvidia-455
»

And the results are here (clinfo):
