It’s been a good run. We have been speculating for months if AMD is ending real support for Polaris/Vega, and it was only a matter of time.
A while back, I retired my RX 580 for a Vega 56, and now, I got a used Vega Frontier Edition as my daily driver. Polaris/Vega were solid cards for their era, but AMD made their choice to step away with RDNA II/RDNA III. Hopefully, AMD doesn’t abandon RDNA I in 2024/2025 after the way they surprised everyone with retiring support for GCN I/II/III in 2021. With the end of Vega, the GCN era is done.
