What a joke. Meanwhile nvidia still supports gtx900 cards.
meanwhile they only receive mostly driver version changes… but nvidia has LONG since stopped caring about those gpus. It’s been shown over and over and over again how nvidia’s drivers have a tendency to regress on 1 and 2 generation old and older gpus.
It’s also a fact that amd/ati has provided most often the longest running support for hardware driver wise. Plus vega/polaris aren’t dead yet, they are receiving driver updates still just not as often. They haven’t been moved to legacy yet.

where?
which reputable source has show it?
all of them…
Specific examples?
just go look?
We need to first know what sources you consider to be reputable.
you tell me… goo look, stop wasting time asking
Whelp it was a good run. Off to the mining fields you…
Sorta BS that my Radeon VII card is losing support when it came out the same year as those cards and outperformed them 🙃
Not that we need their SUPPORT in Linix and BSD. But open source driver is mostly developed by community anyway. So they can do as they please, i also am never forget them that they refused to port Radeon Software to Linux… For years people wanted it but no. And they blamed Linux as not suitable for task. My next GPU is Nvidia. Going back to roots. Maybe Intel.
*shows a Radeon VII in the picture 🤦
Legit the sexiest card ever made.
Reference Vega 64 still going strong, games great at 1440.
fuck me in particular
AMD confirms is not a software company
Not thats its going to hit me, but kinda meh. The latest products using these architectures are sometimes not even released more than a few years ago. Let alone when they were last shipped, which is even closer. Driver support for something important as a GPU should last at least 5 years imho from the moment chips using the architecture were last shipped by AMD (not last sold in retail, as thats not something AMD can control).
What about going backwards?
Amernime Zone says Hello.
I love that video
One of my biggest annoyances is AMD removes features and functionality over time.
I do wonder what the impact will be on all the Vega integrated graphics. Lots of laptop cpus depend on that.
RX 580 and GTX 1060 has been around for a very long time, to the point I think right now is a very good time for an upgrade.
That’s completely stupid at this point. But there’s a reason here. We’re paying the price of GCN being basically the same architecture from the very first HD 7000s, which came out in 2012. The only changes we see are from the first generation GCN to the second, and also from Polaris to Vega. Polaris is basically the same refined arch as the 200 series, except less power hungry. I didn’t understand why they previously dropped support for up to GCN 3, when in fact GCN 3 and GCN 4 are on par feature wise, and the r9 390x just beats the 480, let alone the Radeon fury series with HBM memory!
Depends massively on the game and VRAM used. 390X / 580 / Fury non X trade blows depending on game.
Where the fine wine went?
It’s vinegar bro 😎
