The company explains that moving to a slower release schedule for its older series will help them focus on their newer and existing line-ups. However, beginning in May, AMD plans to include updates for legacy products on a quarterly basis. Currently, HD 2000, HD 3000 and HD 4000 products receive updates with every monthly Catalyst release. Unfortunately for customers with legacy Radeon cards, there is more bad news. For anyone blessed with a good memory and reasonable powers of recollection, they may remember finding the R700 CPU in ATI's flagship Radeon products as little as four years ago. Only HD 5000 cards and newer will be spared from the recent changes.
Interestingly, the HD 4000 series sports the R700. To AMD, legacy products appear to include the Radeon HD 2000, HD 3000 and HD 4000 series graphics cards. It's important to note what AMD considers "legacy" may not align with everyone's preconceived visions of what "legacy" means.

The AMD Catalyst driver for Windows 8 will only include support for WDDM 1.2 support products (AMD Radeon HD 5000 and later).
The company makes that clear in this following paragraph from a purported press release.Īlso with regards to Windows 8 support for the AMD Radeon™ HD 2000, 3000, 4000 Series of products the In-the-box AMD Graphics driver that ships with Windows 8 will include support for the AMD Radeon HD 2000, 3000, and 4000 Series, and it will support the WDDM 1.1 driver level features. Although the next iteration of Windows is expected to ship with driver support for some legacy Radeon cards, AMD will not be providing future driver updates for those graphics cards. Alongside recent news that AMD is dropping official legacy card support for Linux, it appears that AMD will also be dropping support for aging Radeon products in Windows 8.
