Its better to put the driver devs on new products instead. Its been 6+ years since polaris. You really got your moneys worth at $250 RX480 and RX470.

It's been 6+ years since Pascal too but those will be supported for years to come.

Which leaves the inferior 1060 in a better position compared to the RX480 going forward... not a good look for AMD

Aren't nvidia's gpus from 2014 still supported?

They are also a much bigger company with a bigger headcount. AMD doesnt have the budget to do what nvidia is doing. Nvidia is projecting to make more money next quarter than AMD will all of last year. If you only have a few people its in your best interest to look ahead not behind otherwise you will keep falling behind.
