No more new ATI R300-R500 drivers

[Paratus]

I think what BFG was trying to say was that ATI owners need to keep in mind that in order to produce their worldclass awesome drivers of awesomeness, Nv no longer supports the 5xxx series. Which is a boon to both customers and orphans alike.

Plus if Ati follows Nv in anyway we should be super greatful.

At least thats what I got out of it, YMMV.

While dropping to quarterly driver updates for the R5xx is somewhat disappointing, keep in mind that up until recently going three months between supported drivers was quite normal for nVidia for their entire product line.

Also keep in mind nVidia has dropped support for the GF5 series, with the last supported XP driver released in July 2008, and the last supported Vista driver being released in October 2006. Meanwhile it appears ATi will still be supporting the equivalent generation (R3xx) quarterly.

What's this have to do with R300-500? Why should people keep this in mind?

Perspective.
