Drivers & Software

When will be release of new drivers for Polaris/Vega cards with Windows 11 24H2 support? For new cards driver released. Waiting for Polaris/Vega.

I know that Polaris/Vega have limited support, but I think that support of new version of Windows is important!

AMD seems to be rolling out legacy updates only when it’s necessary, as resources are diverted to RDNA. We may or may not see a new driver. If it’s critical I imagine AMD may take the time to do so.

But AMD oficcially not stopped Ploris/Vega support. And this cards are not legacy at this moment. They just have limited support as they said.

So, I think they must update drivers for 24H2.

The AMD Polaris and Vega graphics architectures are mature, stable and performant and don’t benefit as much from regular software tuning.  Going forward, AMD is providing critical updates for Polaris- and Vega-based products via a separate driver package, including important security and functionality updates as available.  The committed support is greater than for products AMD categorizes as legacy, and gamers can still enjoy their favorite games on Polaris and Vega-based products.

I'm agreed! But for new version of Windows it's need to update, isn't  it?

If support for Windows Preview Channel 24H2 release is important to you, it would behoove you to upgrade to a modern graphics solution that is not nearing end-of-life.

Adrenalin 24.6.1 is available now with support for 24H2 on all RDNA graphics generations.

Can't agree  with you. Polaris/Vega cards supports all that require OS such as 24H2 and have support of AMD at least limited, so they are not at end-of-life.

And when AMD added support for 24H2 for new cards, I waiting for adding this support for all supported cards.
