Yesterday, AMD released a new driver update for its GPUs that sent the community into a frenzy because of one major change: it put RDNA 1 and RDNA 2 GPUs under "maintenance" mode, removing them from the priority list that receives monthly game optimization updates. This came as a shock to many, considering RDNA 2, or RX 6000 series, is less than 4 years old and was hugely popular against the RTX 3000 series at that time. Without RDNA 2, AMD's position today as the value-oriented alternative to RTX cards wouldn't be as cemented, yet the company is leaving them behind.
Now, as noted by Hardware Unboxed, PC gaming handhelds could suddenly find themselves in a world of trouble. We've reached out to AMD for confirmation that the latest handhelds, which include the newly-released ROG Xbox Ally, are impacted.
