AMD decision to put RDNA 2 GPUs in maintenance mode could spell trouble for handheld gaming systems including ROG Xbox Ally  — company backtracks on RX 7900 series USB-C functionality, but not on RDNA 2 support

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. Read more

I don't think The Veilguard is a five-star game and definitely don't think it's BioWare's best game. To have suggested such a... Read more
