Fake GPUs Help Guide. Please Stop buying them

English, Minglish issues!? "Dropped support since" means what exactly, what does the word "since" do there?
Please note AMD dropped driver updates for both the older R7/R9 200 series, as well as newer 300 series. This makes RX 400 series the oldest one to still get future driver updates.
So, your "since" wording makes no sense - you likely meant to say AMD dropped support for AMD Radeon Series 300 and prior. (which is not the same thing with what you said)

RE Nvidia side, do you mean GeForce 1080 still gets driver updates (i.e. is included), or it is now excluded? Please clarify.
Also, not everybody will know what GPU models followed after 1080, so you should mention that detail too.

I'm not a native English speaker or what the fuck you are complaining?

Really!? So all of 200, 300, 400 and even current 6000 series are dropped and won't get new versions?! Nice joke.

Jill Valentine - and neither am I. Please note your post lacks the basic clarity it needs - it should be clear that AMD Radeon Series 200 and 300 are both dropped, but not 400 and newer.
On Nvidia GeForce side, you lack clarity too - I have no idea what comes after Nvidia 1080, for example.

Can you reply to my previous post? So my English sucks and why you had to highlight that?

IMO in TPU we all are friends, no matter of our location or skills of English.

 

[Naki]

No, I just want your post be clear and understandable.
If not, it is useless and confusing.

I do not have issues with your English, only with the meaning of the post -- I know not everyone in the world can know English well (or French, German/etc languages).

P4-630 -- sorry, wrong answer.​

I was asking what the word "since" does in his text, not the general meaning of the word.​

You are missing the point of TPU community, it's not about wanting to be an English teacher.

I could say my opinion but I don't want to get banned.

Okay, if you or somebody else wants to elaborate and explain this correctly, so that any random member reading this thread will be able to understand, they are welcome to do so.
If not, we leave it be.

EDIT: By the way, I do not want to be a teacher - of English, or anything else - as I would be a horrible teacher, lacking the patience required.

Yeah, my point is that this forum is more like a community and we don't pick on others if someone says something wrong etc.

I guess U get the message? =)

Stop the language arguments... take it to PMs.
Stay on topic.
If there is a problem, report it, DO NOT carry on the off-topic drama!

A couple of quotes from the Guidelines/Rules:

Reporting and complaining
All posts and private messages have a "report post" button on the bottom of the post, click it when you feel something is inappropriate. Do not use your report as a "wild card invitation" to go back and add to the drama and therefore become part of the problem.

Behavior that is inappropriate/should be reported
Insulting other forum members (calling someone names makes you look stupid anyways).
Racist, hateful, toxic, and otherwise demeaning comments will not be tolerated; whether meant as a joke or not.
Non-constructive criticism of a person's English language abilities.

I have a Bachelor's degree in English, and @Jill Valentine's post was perfectly clear and understandable to me. "Since the R9 290" means anything released after the R9 290. Better?

 

[Naki]

No, this is not better.
Both AMD Radeon 200 as well as 300 Series are no longer supported in new drivers updates, so saying that would be grammatically correct but factually wrong.
One better way would be say "Series 300 and prior" or "Series 300 and older". (which includes series 200 too)
Of course, having in mind that 200 and 300 series are both dropped -- older ones got dropped previously, not this year but earlier.

OR, if we want even better clarity and lack of ambiguity, maybe say it this way --"AMD Radeon Series 200 and 300" (no "since", "prior" or "after").

RE Nvidia, using GPU code names instead of those 1080 or other digits is better, I found this article on the topic:
NVIDIA Officially Retiring Driver Support For Its Kepler GPUs on 31st August, Farewell GeForce 600/700 & First Titan Series Graphics Cards

NVIDIA Officially Retiring Driver Support For Its Kepler GPUs on 31st August, Farewell GeForce 600/700 & First Titan Series Graphics Cards

NVIDIA is going to retire driver support for its Kepler GPU architecture and Widows 7/8/8.1 operating systems on the 31st of August.

Has useful info on Windows OS versions to be dropped too.

1. What does driver support have to do with analogue (VGA) display outputs?
2. What difference does using GPU codenames instead of actual product names make?

Just had to poke the bull and keep on about grammar/English/etc.
Thread is going off topic into other areas.
