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. […]
Fine wine: aka release a product with dogshit drivers and make them a little better over time.
Yeah I don’t understand the fine wine stuff. Its copium.
Ask: Would you rather get a product that is great on launch or want to wait 6months or even 2 years to get that great product drivers when the product itself is now beginning to age as a new generation arrives. And after you’ve probably played the game.
yeah lol. this also happens in the cpu side where people brag about upgrading their 2700X cpu to 5800x3d when 9900k users are stuck on their motherboards. meanwhile i’ve been enjoying the 9900k a lot more for a lot longer than they’ve upgraded haha
Thats not even a comparable argument
how is it not? they both copium about how the objectively shitty choice is ackchyually the ‘right’ choice because it wouldn’t be as shitty in the future
Not taking the bait
The RX480 was fine on launch and became a lot better with time, my 1060 6go not so much, the best upgrade i got was AMD FSR working on it. That’s what i call fine wine as an ex-nivida owner (who will replace is new 6700 10go by any good cards sub 300€ from any vendors in a few years).
edit : the 1060 6go still was a good buy and i was happy with it for it’s price, but for cheaper i could have had a RX480 at that time.
You can also enable SAM/Resizable BAR on Polaris 8GB GPUs with a registry edit it increases fps in alot of recent DX12 games
