This is my main issue with AMD GPUs, the driver support is short. The GTX 970 (Released in 2014) is still getting regular Driver updates 9 years after release whereas the RX 590 (Released 2018!) is on the brink of losing drivers, not to mention Ryzen APUs released in 2023! This just seems ridiculous compared to Nvidia

I mean sure Nvidia may say they support a gtx970 but good luck running today's games on it with 3.5GB of VRAM.
