@ 2023/11/10Graphics Core Next (GCN) designs go the way of the Dodo
AMD's is slowly killing off its Graphics Core Next (GCN) designs, better known by the architecture names of Polaris and Vega.
AMD is into its third generation of RDNA architecture GPUs so Polaris and Vega seem to have set below the horizon for ever.
In recent weeks the company dropped support for those GPU architectures in their open source Vulkan Linux driver, AMDVLK, and is slowly winding down support for these architectures in their Windows drivers.
Under AMD's extended driver support schedule for Polaris and Vega, the drivers for these architectures will no longer be kept at feature parity with the RDNA architectures.
