AMD recently released a statement clearing up confusion over support for its older RDNA1 and RDNA2 graphics cards. Previously, the company announced that these architectures would enter maintenance mode, which worried many users. Now AMD is clarifying that the Radeon RX 5000 and RX 6000 series will continue to receive gaming optimizations, security updates and bug fixes.
AMD’s initial announcement of putting the older RDNA architectures into maintenance mode led to speculation that cards like the RX 6800 XT or RX 5700 XT would no longer receive support for new games. In a new blog post titled “Continued Support for Every Radeon Gamer,” AMD explains that there are now two separate driver paths: one for RDNA1/2 and one for RDNA3/4.
This separation allows engineers to more quickly develop new features for the newer architectures while maintaining the stability of the older GPUs. AMD emphasizes that RDNA1 and RDNA2 owners will continue to receive support for new games, stability updates and security patches. The difference is that these cards now operate under a dedicated, stable driver branch based on years of optimization.
The decision to create separate driver paths aims to provide the best possible experience for every Radeon gamer. By separating the code paths, engineers can move faster with new features for RDNA3 and RDNA4, while keeping RDNA1 and RDNA2 stable and optimized for current and future games. This strategy shows AMD’s commitment to its user base, whether they play on an RX 5000, RX 6000 or the latest RX 9000.
