AMD stopper support for Radeon HD 7000, R200, R300 and Fury GCN kort.

Så har AMD meldt ud, at de nu stopper supporten for Radeon HD 7000, R200, R300 and Fury GCN baserede grafikkort. Det kommer nok lidt som et chok for nogen da R300 og Fury serien, stadig er i høj kurs og stadig er eftertragtede brugt marked kort, i sær i denne tid. 

"AMD is ending support for the Radeon HD 7000 series, R200 series, R300 series, and R9 Fury series graphics cards, based on the oldest versions of the Graphics CoreNext architecture. The HD 7000 series debuted in 2011, R9 200 series in 2013, with the R9 300 series essentially being rebadged. The R9 Fury series joined the ranks in 2015. This would make the Radeon 21.5.2 the final drivers from these graphics cards, giving AMD the opportunity to clean-break its drivers from the RX 400 series "Polaris" and forward. A conclusion of driver support would mean that upcoming driver releases, including the 21.6.1 drivers released today, lack support for GPUs older than the RX 400 series. Should AMD encounter glaring security flaws with its drivers, it can, in the future, release special driver updates."

Flere har da også givet sig noget uforstående overfor AMD's valg herpå, da konkurrenten i GTX 1050/1060 stadig lever i bedste stil med driver support fra nVidia.

Hvad synes i ? Er det for tidligt at AMD dropper supporten på R300 og Fury serien ?
