AMD FirePro and Radeon Pro graphics empower content creators and designers at many levels, from casual makers and students all the way up to seasoned professionals and enterprise workstation users. It's not just hardware, though, that lets professionals unleash their creativity; powerful software is critical too, and today we are introducing the first of many Radeon Pro Software releases.

The Radeon Pro Software Enterprise Driver 16.Q4 is designed to address the specific needs of enterprise users and also will support the upcoming release of AMD's next-generation of professional graphics, the Radeon Pro WX series.

Addressing Enterprise Needs
More than anyone else, enterprise workstation graphics users need predictable software release dates so they can properly plan ahead. The Radeon Pro Software Enterprise Driver addresses this need with a commitment that updates will be released on the 4th Thursday of each quarter, starting today, with future releases planned on January 26th, April 27th, July 27th, and October 26th, 2017.

The Radeon Pro Software Enterprise Driver includes the predictable feature, performance and stability improvements enterprise users need, and in between quarters we also plan to release Radeon Pro Software for professionals who need access to the latest Radeon Pro technologies. Enterprise users also expect fast, robust support, because after all, time is money, and our Radeon Pro Software Enterprise Drivers come with Prioritized Support, meaning AMD's goal is to work with customers, ISVs, and OEMs to provide prioritized engineering support.

Rock-solid Reliability
When it comes to stability improvements, the Radeon Pro Software Enterprise Driver 16.Q4 has been rigorously tested to help ensure rock-solid reliability. AMD's extensive Radeon Pro Software test plan is over and above consumer testing and includes extended stress testing.

Radeon Pro Software is designed to provide an optimal user experience on leading workstation OEM platforms. We and our OEM partners thoroughly test this software to ensure it meets the demanding needs of enterprise users.

Along with testing for stability, our software undergoes ISV testing that exceeds certification standards. Radeon Pro Software is certified in over 100 workstation applications covering the leading software professionals use, including Autodesk AutoCAD, Dassault CATIA, Siemens NX, Adobe Premiere, Avid Media Composer, Autodesk Maya, and many more.

Exceptional Performance
With this driver, you will see faster performance in PTC Creo, Siemens NX, and Dassault CATIA when you compare the 16.Q4 Enterprise Driver with last year's AMD FirePro 14.502.1019 Driver.

It's not just about raw performance either because Radeon Pro Software also enables outstanding productivity value. When tested against the Nvidia Quadro M2000, the AMD FirePro W5100 delivers up to 27% more productivity per dollar.

Enhanced Productivity Features
Along with its performance and stability improvements, the Radeon Pro Software Enterprise Driver 16.Q4 also includes production-level features and capabilities. Support for AMD's pioneering virtual reality LiquidVR technology exploits the capabilities of AMD graphics and enables professional VR workflows on Radeon VR Ready Creator graphics cards. Radeon Pro Software is certified for workstation VR application use, such VR Design, Engineering Animation, and Modeling.

With DirectX 12 and Vulkan support, the Radeon Pro Software Enterprise Driver 16.Q4 may be used for the coming real-time game engine professional workflow revolution. Game engines such as Unreal Engine and Unity are being used by professionals for real-time previz storyboarding, CAD visualization and Building Information Modeling (BIM).

There is also WHQL support for Windows 10 Anniversary Update and Windows 10 Device Guard, that enables users to lock down applications that are trusted on the device, helping increase protection from malware.

Certified Updates, Consistently Delivered

The introduction of Radeon Pro Software continues AMD's commitment to providing all levels of workstation graphics users with high-performance and stable certified professional software. This commitment includes the Radeon Pro Software Enterprise Driver which incorporates new features, performance and stability improvements, and prioritized support designed to make enterprises and their users more productive - all delivered on a predictable schedule.

Radeon Pro Drivers are compatible with Radeon Pro WX series, Radeon Pro Duo, AMD FirePro W series, select AMD FirePro S series. OS: Windows 7/10, Linux
