Sadly AMD seems to be in a rush to drop stuff from their Windows driver.
I had the unfortunate experience of watching them drop support for the GPU part of my APU while it was still one of their headline APUs.
This because they had based it on a previous gen discrete GPU, and they didn't want to support that GPU range any more with future drivers.
It is experiences like these that makes me understand were RMS came from, and it pains me when so many even within the FOSS world poo poo his message and seem all too willing to break things left and right just because it is "old and crufty" code.

(Forget having all the features the card is supposed to have all working at the same time) The only reason I’ve ever bought an ATI card in the last 15 years is because it hashed faster than NVIDIA. Ironically I still had to play the driver game to prevent the system from crashing. I figured they couldn’t possibly fuck up hashing but I was wrong.
