PC gamer looking at PC in anger and disbelief .

• AMD no longer supports RX 6000 or earlier GPUs in its drivers
• Those graphics cards are now in 'maintenance mode' so they don't get new features or game optimizations
• They'll still receive security patches, but these GPUs being pushed out of full support so soon has not gone down well with gamers who have them

AMD is stopping work on optimizing its Radeon graphics drivers for some older GPUs – and that includes models which are still relatively new, namely the RX 6000 series.
