It's fair enough, especially as they don't manufacture them anymore. Still waiting for the complaints ... .

Agreed. I was expecting to see some raging already

Don't really see it as a big deal. Besides those cards probably wouldn't perform very well anyways.

If it was the 6xx series I'd see an issue but I really don't think any 5xx or 4xx gpu is still relevant. No complaints here.

No I was thinking the complaints would originate around Pripyat...

Makes sense much like the whole DX12 thing. Old tech can't be expected to work with the latest and greatest API's.

What kind of bait is this? I never expected news but how can I even engage with this on a facetious or sarcastic level?
