AMD to Drop Support for Pre-HD 5000 GPUs with Catalyst 12.7

[Dippyskoodlez]

Can you point out where that is said?


Really, really, really , really old cards are supported in Windows 7, doesn't mean its a good idea, but they are.


I have an idea, lest actually go LOOK for drivers and see what we find, for a 9600XT for example, or a 9550


Linux X86 X64
Windows through 7 X64


Damn, and how old is that card?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R300


2002 cards fully supported in a 2009 OS that is now 3 years old itself.

The linux driver only supports limited versions of Xorg.

Of which is years old, at this point. No official linux support for that card with any current distro.

So no support for these cards in Win8 doesn't bother you then?

I'm pretty sure there will be a win 8 driver for them.

it is an extremely stable and robust driver branch for these products and will be the baseline for our quarterly updates.

that says it all.

This mean I will now have to get a new GPU and PSU this year when I had recently just bought some new stuff.
