Radeon VII was released 02.2019, 4.5 years ago. That's too early to drop the support.
No it's not too early. 4.5 years in the GPU industry is comparable to 10-25 years in actual time.
There is zero justifiable reason to continue supporting such ancient hardware. I mean even Nvidia doesn't support Turing anymore, let alone Pascal lmao.
Same way i feel about RDNA 1 not getting driver level frame gen, Anti lag, or any other fancy new driver level features. Makes no sense when all of those features if implemented by a dev into a game will work on RDNA 1, But at a driver level? Nope we gotta go F ourselves apparently. Really tempted to not go AMD for my next GPU. If they cant even support a 4 year old GPU im not interested.
The 7 stands for how many people actually bought one
