The AMD Driver Thread

Is that the sound of goalposts moving? You tried making a point that while Nvidia do it it’s not as bad because it’s been 9 years. I pointed out that using the original release date for a GPU market life cycle is a poor metric in this scenario, because you need to use the actual EOL date.

Yes you seem to have corrected me but doesn't change the fact this whole blowup was because of AMD so of course people are gonna come up with stuff be correct or false

I couldn't care for either Nvidia or AMD I have no loyalty to either
 
Self inflicted AMD marketing disaster

Saving grace is they nipped it quickly so in a week from now ya'll won't even remember what happened

This is not anything self inflicted, and there is no blow up. This is nothing more than a very slow news quarter and the youtubers need to keep them clicks going, even if it means manufacturing a story out of nothing.

It’s totally normal for both Nvidia and AMD to run down driver optimisation support for older products. 4-5 years is not unheard of and even shorter in the case of OEM cards.

It is self inflicted with the wording used it's almost like they are back tracking with the response if that was the original plan why not just be more clear in the first place ? And not give the excuse

What was with maintenance mode ? suggested that future drivers would only deliver bug fixes and security updates for older architectures like RDNA 1 and RDNA 2.

And future optimizations focusing on newer RDNA 3 and RDNA 4 cards

Now responding with that those GPUs will keep getting game optimization

AMD now says it will continue to roll out new features and game-specific optimizations “based on market needs,”

The previous version did not mention game optimizations at all
