AMD confirms Polaris and Vega architectures will only to receive critical updates going forward

This is why you never buy high end Radeon products. Imagine being the person that spent $700 on Vega VII in 2019 only to realize that 4 years later, your company will no longer provide game driver support for you... Meanwhile a $150 750 Ti that released in 2014 is still getting longer driver updates than you. And that's not counting all the APUs that AMD shipped with Vega graphics very recently.

Totally unacceptable from the Red team.

These two videos shows what happens with long term CPU support. At launch and even today, the 9900K was no doubt faster than 3700X but the 3700X costed half as much. If you bought the 3700X for $300 and then waited till 5800X3D became $300 and upgraded... You will now have a CPU that is 41% faster without requiring a motherboard/ram upgrade. Really shows the two sides of AMD where their CPUs are beloved because they provide many advantages over the competition and their GPUs are generally mixed because it's poorly managed.
