And let’s not forget that for a long time, Remedy Entertainment, that grew from the ashes of Future Crew, were the coders of 3D-Mark, such as it was at the time. Hell, I think it was either 3DMark99 or 3DMark2000 even used Max-FX for its engine.
Remedy are no stranger to pushing the envelope. And it’s not like RDNA1 is immediately obsolete, sure Alan Wake 2 is a Critical darling right now, and the sequel that fans have been pushing for for several years at this point, but outside of that, any other game that doesn’t use Mesh Shading (and to my knowledge, there’s more than a couple) still works on an RX 5700 XT, the card that Cryptominers sold their figurative grandmothers for.
Though I will concede that this is a blow for RDNA1, and may signal the beginning of the end for it, and Pre-Pascal used cards in general. Which sucks for the used market…
