Yes, amdgpu-pro-19.50-967960-sle-15.tar.xz includes rpm files. You can find them by;
$ tar -Jxf amdgpu-pro-19.50-967960-sle-15.tar.xz $ cd amdgpu-pro-19.50-967960-sle-15
It's reasonable for you?
I mean that I can not just point YaST to a repository and be done.
$ cd amdgpu-pro-19.50-967960-sle-15/RPMS/x86_64 $ sudo mv * /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64 $ cd ../noarch $ sudo mv * /usr/src/packages/RPMS/noarch
Then, start YasT2 and find files with the key word 'amdgpu-pro'.

In case of NVIDIA, we must install with every kernel update. But, in case of AMD, it doesn't seem so. This is a mystery for me.
Anyway, the installation depends on you, of course.
Thanks for the information :-) I want to learn more, then decide. This card is new to me. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
