What are the facts about how long AMD provides drivers for?
Nvidia provide drivers for what feels like a VERY long time.
I have the feeling that AMD gives up on providing drivers after only a few years of product life.
But these are only hunches, anyone know the facts?

- andrewstuart 3y agoAre you sayig AMD provides drivers for 22 years just because that's a headline on HN? I don't believe that. My question stands - anyone have FACTS?
- bryanlarsen 3y agoI'm saying that you're posting your question on the wrong page. Your question is off topic here.
- andrewstuart 3y agoOH yes I see.
