Drivers & Software

So we have beta driver with HWS support, but only Navi.

Why not released for GCN hardware?

We will give feedback needed for bug fixes.

Microsoft Blog details Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling, and why only two AMD cards have it (so f... 

Once a driver completes support for hardware accelerated scheduling and accumulates enough execution time in our Insider Pool to demonstrate its reliability and performance, it is allowed to be promoted to the public version of Windows Update where it becomes available to everyone running the supported hardware.

And so I'm back with same question.

By steam statistics:

AMD Radeon RX 580 2.08% (GCN1.3)

AMD Radeon RX 570 1.39% (GCN1.3)

AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 0.80% (RDNA)

AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics 0.71% (GCN1.4)

AMD Radeon RX 480 0.53% (GCN1.3)

AMD Radeon R5 Graphics 0.47%(GCN1.2)

AMD Radeon RX 560 0.42% (GCN1.3)

AMD Radeon RX 590 Series 0.39% (GCN1.3)

AMD Radeon RX 470 0.37% (GCN1.3)

AMD Radeon RX Vega 0.30% (GCN1.4)

AMD Radeon RX 550 0.29% (GCN1.3)

AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP 0.28% (GCN1.3)

AMD Radeon RX 460 0.28% (GCN1.3)

AMD Radeon RX 5700 0.24% (RDNA)

So we have 6.03%+0.47%+1.01% for GCN 1.3+1.2+1.4 used for gaming in steam and only 1.04% for RDNA.

Information in Microsoft blog post is obviously a lie because we have plenty GCN testers and minor RDNA.

I also windows insider. When we get driver for testing? AMD want to abandon GCN user's?
