AMD, in the latest Aderenalin 25.10.2 diver drive update, announced that RDN 1, 2 and 2 structures, RX 5000, 6,000, were entering the maintenance phase, that once the products were considered to have lost their support for the future game, and that the AMD received a response from external sources, emphasizing that the frequency of the support for the game remained constant.
AMD responds to a query from the external media, Tom’s Hardware, clarifying that the driver’s description of the update is misleading, that entering the “maintenance phase” will not affect support for outside players, and that it will also receive the latest game drive, security correction updates, while decentralizing the new functionality according to “market demand”.
In short, the maintenance phase does not show that the card is abandoned, but the next shift in the focus of AMD’s main functional development, such as the more advanced FSR function or other AI algorithms, may not come to RX 5000 or 6000, and the new game is routinely provided, so that it does not become unplayable, but it is possible that NVIDIA’s DLS technology can only use old versions and not enjoy new features.
It is important to note that even if the support of the game is guaranteed, because it is no longer a primary development status, it means, to a certain extent, that in the past, every update of the AMD will not allow the FPS to reach the old product.
In addition, while AMD is said to expand new functional support in line with market demand, the dimensions involved are complex, since not all functions can be performed by software alone, such as FSR 4 because of the AI operation, AMD is willing to provide the RX 9000 series without being decentralized to the RX 7000 series and to older products, but only by re-enacting the source code by the great demons on the Internet.
At the same time, AMD also stressed that the “cut off USB-C power” in the RX 7900 series is a description of the error, which has been removed from the web page, showing that the functionality of the card is not affected by this update.
However, there is a certain degree of emergence of the description, which means that AMD is likely to have a relevant experiment in-house, and it was only after evaluation that it was decided to retain it, but it was because the bulletin was written with the wrong log that the content did not appear in the update file that gave rise to some concern that the future AMD would actually cut off USB-C in the update.
