I have gotten a new DOS laptop with i7 6th Gen and Radeon R7 M440. Are there drivers available for the R7 M440 card on 16.04? If yes, please direct me to the link. If No, what alternatives do you suggest (apart from windows 10)?

Found using Google: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/03/ubuntu-drops-amd-catalyst-fglrx-driver-16-04 Is an older release (14.04) an option for you? – Melebius Oct 13 '16 at 11:16

Would the open source drivers be of any use? I do want to have the latest version of Ubuntu (not that i know of the specific advantages). – Goutham Rv Oct 13 '16 at 11:35

@Zacharee1 - I had read this earlier. I'll give it a try nonetheless. Nothing to lose, except for some time and effort. Thanks guys. – Goutham Rv Oct 13 '16 at 13:06

A new release just came out recently! http://news.softpedia.com/news/amd-rolls-out-amdgpu-pro-16-40-driver-for-ubuntu-and-red-hat-enterprise-linux-509737.shtml
I haven't tried yet but I am on it now. Here's the link to AMD: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Radeon-GPU-PRO-Linux-Beta-Driver%E2%80%93Release-Notes.aspx
