Description

  • remove or update the “AMD driver name”;
    • I can think of at least two cases where the printed information is wrong. E.g., ROCm is reported as AMD Pro.
  • remove or update the “Recommended” information;
    • in case of NVIDIA drivers, I bet that the 550 and similar drivers that magnum tested appear as recommended.

See #5554

Research direction

Start by tracing the code path that prints the AMD driver name and Recommended status, using issue #5554 for context. Compare the output for ROCm and NVIDIA 550-series drivers; the work is done when the misleading labels are corrected or removed as requested.
