AMD has backtracked on putting RDNA 1 and 2 into a maintenance mode that wouldn't include game optimizations, telling Tom's Hardware new features will be included based on "market needs."

AMD ended mainstream driver support for its RDNA 1 and 2 GPUs in a new update that sought to focus on the RX 7000 and 9000 series for day-one optimizations for new releases. This could mean trouble for handhelds that rely on tuning to achieve their full potential on Windows, and without AMD's driver to back them up, they might be left high and dry.

The latest AMD Radeon graphics driver skips older GPUs for feature updates and drops functionality from last-gen flagships.
