AMD Updates Policy on Older Radeon Cards
AMD has revised its stance on older Radeon cards, confirming that RX 5000 and RX 6000 graphics cards will continue to receive game optimizations.
Published on 2025-10-31 by Hilbert Hagedoorn, this update was reported via Tom's Hardware, softening AMD's earlier messaging.
The Adrenalin Edition 25.10.2 driver release was initially seen as a cutoff point, with future optimizations focusing on newer RDNA 3 and RDNA 4 cards.
However, AMD is now acknowledging the value in optimizing for older GPUs, given their widespread use.
As
many are still widely used, RX 5000 and RX 6000 cards remain powerful options for 1080p and 1440p gaming.
Regular driver updates will help keep frame rates consistent in new titles, which is good news for gamers.
