Guru3D.com Image Last week news hit the wire that AMD would cut support for its older Radeon HD graphics cards but it turns out support will not be discontinued entirely. AMD send out a clarification to the press about the future of its Radeon HD 2000, 3000, and 4000 series graphics cards, while new cards will continue to receive monthly updates, the older cards will be put on a quarterly driver release schedule.

Unfortunately, this does not apply to Windows 8. Radeon HD 2000/3000/4000 owners will be limited to the AMD graphics driver that ships with Windows 8 and will receive no further updates.

AMD will be moving the AMD Radeon
