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. […]
Let’s be honest here. Usually these patches are driver optimizations for new games. What kind of a new game runs on a Vega architecture IGP with 6 to 8 CUs, and 1/2 the performance of an RX 6400. Anything that’s last generation has probably already been updated to run well.
Even if you’re looking at like e-sport titles, I’d be shocked to see driver’s having improved things by more than 1% in the last year in like Fortnite or League of Legends.
My HD6950 before can run The Division before but due to AMD, pushing it out of driver updates, game gets all glitchy with artifacts.
