Also, there is a dedicated page about the end of support for Windows 7/8/8.1 and pre-RX 400 GPUs. You can learn more about the latest Radeon Software release here. Keeping your AMD graphics card drivers up to date ensures that your GPU is at its best. On its official website, AMD recommends its users 'upgrading to a modern GPU and benefit from exciting new features, improved performance, lower power consumption, and broader compatibility with the latest PC games,' which is quite a challenge these days. Just do not expect any significant improvements or optimizations for new and upcoming games. Legacy computers with Windows 7/8/8.1 and now unsupported AMD GPUs will continue working without issues. Pre-Windows 10 releases are now in a legacy support mode that covers only critical security fixes. Enterprise customers with a current vGPU software license (GRID vPC, GRID vApps or Quadro vDWS), can log into the enterprise.

Also, those systems will not be getting new features, performance improvements, bug fixes, etc. Now, AMD users can only get new drivers if their system is running 64-bit Windows 10 (the company dropped 32-bit systems support long ago) paired with a GPU from the RX 400 series or newer.Įnd of support means new graphics cards that require the latest drivers will not work on Windows 7/8/8.1.
