CER>  Thanks. Then there is no rpm as with NVidia?

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?

 $ 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.
