Of Note:

  • No dates were specified, No commitments made.

  • Day 1 game support was not promised, just individual game support.

  • They still plan on splitting the development for RDNA1 and RDNA2 from RDNA3 and RDNA4 development, giving only the latter support for new features.

It already rubbed me the wrong way how soon they sunsetted support for GCN cards. Especially since they introduced Vega 8(?) products in APUs till 2021 or something like that? Which means it should atleast still get support for another 2 years from here on now. Instead support ended years ago.

But at the time i could kinda see how they wanted to focus on RDNA. Still shitty but there was atleast some resemblence of a technical reason there. But now trying to stop support for RDNA because of the focus on RDNA is just fucking laughable.
