    They’ve moved older GPUs into maintenance mode since they’ve gone into the GPU business. Not sure why its an issue in 2025 when it was never an issue before.

      Because those are cards that are just a few years old and are still available new in retail. And those cards are still perfectly capable of playing current games. Also, some of their APUs still ship with RDNA2. So, in effect, they’ve stopped supporting products they still make.

        They are 4 year old GPUs. They’re still getting updates, just not new features. This isn’t saying they are end of life products. Just discontinued and on maintenance updates.
