AMD to Drop Support for Pre-HD 5000 GPUs with Catalyst 12.7

 

AMD will conclude driver updates for pre-Evergreen, or pre-Radeon HD 5000 (that's HD 2000, HD 3000, and HD 4000) series GPUs, starting this summer. The change could take effect with Catalyst 12.7 (around July). Users of these older GPUs can use the (then) latest driver (Catalyst 12.6) to run their older DirectX 10/10.1 graphics cards. The elimination of pre-Evergreen GPUs could also slim down the driver package a bit, in terms of file-size.

Sucks! I have 4870 or something...

Damnit, I have the same card. Then again I swear the graphics performance has gotten worse with the past few driver updates. On the upside I did find out that blu-ray plays back amazing well over HDMI with 7.1 sound via the DVI-HDMI adapter.
