    Kind of a bittersweet day.

    Polaris was a workhorse, it put in more miles than I think any of us could have expected, and while Vega didn’t sell like gangbusters, those of us who had one had a lot of fun playing around with it.

    To be frank RDNA1 also belongs in this bracket, several 3 updates have been total regressions in game performance.
    Especially compared to the RADV drivers.

    Radeon VII was released 02.2019, 4.5 years ago. That’s too early to drop the support.

    wow, never caught this before but did AMD really try to sneak a lower tier die as a flagship product? 7nm or no, that die is only like 2/3rds the size of its predecessor… that’s like a whole product tier lower.

    Nothing you guys haven’t already noticed with the last couple of Adrenaline driver releases for Windows. But AMD has finally officially commented on the matter (and this has yet to be posted on their website).

    Polaris and Vega aren’t legacy - AMD isn’t pulling ongoing driver support entirely - but they’re now in an “extended” support phase. Meaning they’ll mainly get bug fixes and irregular “functionality updates” that AMD decides to backport from their mainline (now RDNA-only) driver branch. AMD has not told me how long they intend this extended support period to last.
