AMD Polaris and Vega GPUs only to receive critical updates AMD is sunsetting its Polaris and Vega support on Windows. The company will only provide critical security patches. It has been long speculated that AMD has already abandoned the Vega and Polaris architectures, but the company has now confirmed that this is indeed the case. […]
This also means APUs using vega are included right? Been thinking of buying a laptop with 7730u but this might be the reason why i might change my mind
You can use third-party drivers, they’re better anyway.
As much as I would like to try that on my RX 580, the installation is just such a trainwreck hassle for not experienced users like me.
I’m not even on a Radeon GPU anymore but last time I installed these drivers the setup had been greatly streamlined, it wasn’t more complicated than installing official drivers.
Let’s be honest here. Usually these patches are driver optimizations for new games. What kind of a new game runs on a Vega architecture IGP with 6 to 8 CUs, and 1/2 the performance of an RX 6400. Anything that’s last generation has probably already been updated to run well.
Even if you’re looking at like e-sport titles, I’d be shocked to see driver’s having improved things by more than 1% in the last year in like Fortnite or League of Legends.
