On Windows. on Linux these cards will be supported for another decade at least.

So happy I don't use Windows and I fully embraced Linux!

My RX 560 and 570 GPUs are very happy with it!

On Linux, not only supported but improving performance

Stupid question: does AMD contribute to RADV and mesa? As in, are they the main contributors to the amd drivers in Linux? I assume that they are at least significant contributors? For situations like this where support is dropped by AMD, does that mean that they will still patch card specific issues, or do other contributors take care of that?

(I know the drivers aren't necessarily card specific overall, but what happens if a specific unsupported card has an issue with a new driver?)

For another 10 years at least!

ATI Rage 128 just lost support in the kernel.

Last LTS kernel to have support for it (6.1) will be maintained until December 2026 or August 2033.

Wonder if you could even have a GPU in continuous operation for 34 years without replacing capacitors or something else.
