NOT MY POLARIS :((

It's been a good run. We have been speculating for months if AMD is ending real support for Polaris/Vega, and it was only a matter of time.

A while back, I retired my RX 580 for a Vega 56, and now, I got a used Vega Frontier Edition as my daily driver. Polaris/Vega were solid cards for their era, but AMD made their choice to step away with RDNA II/RDNA III. Hopefully, AMD doesn't abandon RDNA I in 2024/2025 after the way they surprised everyone with retiring support for GCN I/II/III in 2021. With the end of Vega, the GCN era is done.

There is always the option to try modded driver after the end of support, the scene is rocking hard atm both for polaris and vega, crazy performance and customizability

? Really. Do you have a link or something? My vega 56 could use some new life. It's been bugging for a year now too where it loses video output and I need to turn my PC off and do a bios switch.
