Took me almost 5 min to drill through enough Wikipedia pages to find the Radeon VII string.

Contrast that with the earlier R9 285 that I used for nearly 10 years until I was finally able to get a 9070XT that I'm very happy with. They were still refining support for that aged GCN 1.2 driver even today, even if things are a lower priority to backport.
Overall the ONLY things I'm unhappy about this GPU generation.
* Too damned expensive * Not enough VRAM (and no ECC off of workstation cards?) * Too hard for average consumers to just buy direct and cut out the scalpers
The only way I could get my hands on a card was to buy through a friend that lives within range of a Microcenter. The only true saints of computer hardware in the whole USA.
On the other hand, my Steam Deck has been exceedingly stable.
So I guess I would say: Buy AMD but understand that they don't have the resources to truly support all of their hardware on any platform, so they have to prioritize.
