Not only Nvidia with Kepler, Also AMD It breaks bridges with architectures and operating systems of the past. New drivers Radeon Adrenalin 21.6.1, important because they support FidelityFX Super Resolution technology, they say Farewell to the first three generations of the Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture.
Therefore, Ryzen Pre-Radeon RX 400 video cards and APUs with integrated graphics are no longer supported by current drivers, with Version 21.5.1 which from now on will be the latest version compatible with legacy products. It must be emphasized that 21.6.1 says Also goodbye to Windows 7 support, an operating system that has now been abandoned by Microsoft itself, and retains compatibility with various versions of Windows 10 64-bit.
GCN architecture has given way to Radeon DNA in gaming, an architecture more optimized for gaming, while the later evolution of GCN lives on in Compute DNA (CDNA), the AMD project at the heart of Instinct computing accelerators. With this move, AMD says Farewell to previous 2016 GPUs, including the HD 7000 and HD 8000 series, as well as the 200, 300 and Fury solutions. Some of the Radeon R7 M400 mobile GPUs and APUs that have marked AMD’s history — for better or worse — like Bristol Ridge, Carrizo, and Kaveri are also in attendance.
