AMD clarifies that RDNA 1 and 2 will still get day zero game support and driver updates — discrete GPUs and handhelds will still work with future games (www.tomshardware.com)

EDIT: It seems that Tomshardware has misrepresented AMD's statement in a more positive light.

Hmm. That's worrying. I was probably going with AMD next to around, but them being semi-EOL'd after six years gives me pause. That would make my current GPU nearly be EOL.

Sounds like they are backtracking based on "market needs" which sounds like "we'll support this until people get complacent" – not what I want to hear after spending $700+ on a component.

Come to Linux and get 15+ years of support with AMD cards.

With Nvidia it has always seemed like with new upgrades older cards were made slower on purpose. AFAIK AMD never did that. So if you had a 3 year old AMD it would perform faster than when it was released, while a 3 year old Nvidia would be slower. Which is why AMD got the reputation of aging like fine wine.
