If you own a handheld gaming PC that's powered by an AMD Ryzen Z1 or Z1 Extreme processor, like the Asus ROG Ally, you may have noticed something's missing. Not a feature or application, but any kind of driver update for the integrated GPU within the last six months. Paired with the fact that Resident Evil Requiem barely runs on the Ally, the rumour that AMD has all but abandoned driver support for its APU seems to have serious weight to it.
That claim has been reported by various tech sites, such as TechPowerUp, as well as by PC gamers on social media, but I already suspected it was the case, as I regularly use an Asus ROG Ally handheld to conduct performance testing of games. The most recent case being Resident Evil Requiem, where the device barely cracked a double-digit frame rate at 720p, on the lowest settings and with upscaling.
