    Meanwhile the AMD Linux GPU driver (written mostly by Valve employees) still happily supports these cards with no trouble. No reason to retire these cards other than greed.

    If this was nVidia there would be 50 AMD shills in here talking about anti-consumerism and price gouging and forcing people to buy new GPUs, but apparently AMD gets a pass.

      I mean most of the comments here are criticising AMD for this exact thing so… no… they aren’t getting a pass.

      In fairness to AMD, this card was extremely low volume. They probably can’t afford to support a card for all 5 customers still using it.

      Anyone who bought a laptop with a 5500H chip should be proud. Launched in June 2023, it’s GPU drivers are obsolete in less than 6 months of use.

      I invested in both AMD and nVidia stocks at the beginning of the year.

      Should come as no surprise that AMD is up $2 a share…nVidia is up $271 a share.
