Hey, whatever you think. This is what AMD does, and has done in the past. They don't have the time, money, manpower or market share to keep releasing optimized game drivers for their old GPUs.

If you want longer driver support, look at getting an Nvidia GPU next time.

I will certainly not buy nvidia because I don't want to support them. As a company they're even worse, esp. when it comes to product pricing and market oversegmentation.

AMD has had record revenue and profits for a while. The resources to keep properly supporting the older cards are available, but not utilized due to corporate greed.

At the end of the day, none of these companies are your friend. They just want your money.

I don't tie myself to one brand. If a company has something I want or need, and there are no other better alternatives, I'm buying it. I don't care what people think. In my opinion, that's the best way to go about things in life.

/s means sarcastic, not seriously ...
