Default AMD internal document - Catalyst 9.4: legacy support removed!


As of ATI Catalyst 9.4 (based on the 8.60 driver) – to be released April 2009, AMD will move a number of older ATI Radeon™ graphics accelerators products to a legacy driver support structure. This change will impact Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Linux distributions. AMD is moving to a legacy software support structure to better focus development resources on future products and ensure driver stability for these mature graphics products.

For the love of god...at least host the file on this site. I've attached it to my post for those that don't want to waste their time with ziddu.

I agree with everything except the X1XXX series cards.

Why? They can just download the older drivers without any performance loss.

They stopped optimizing the older cards a long time ago.
