Amd D500 For Mac Pro 12.9
The unwillingness of both Apple and AMD to provide up-to-date bootcamp video drivers, is totally unprofessional. It is a slap in the face to every customer that uses bootcamp. For this sector of customer base I believe it is damaging to their brand. To be the only customer of which AMD's website says 'This driver is not intended for use on AMD products running in Apple Boot Camp platforms.' And to have Apple standing by doing NOTHING to pass on updates to their customer base is appalling. And it isn't like a driver update is a huge technical feat. The code base is being maintained for every other AMD chipset out there. People are able to hack it to get it to work. For Apple to provide a stable driver is maddeningly trivial, which makes it clear that denying it is likely the internal policy of some jerk manager(s) that want to kick in the nards anybody that dares to seriously use Windows on Apple hardware.
A comparison, Apple has fired missiles at the Android community because their phones are notorious for getting no updates pushed from the manufacturers. Well, Apple is acting from the same playbook. When it comes time to get a new workstation, am I going to get an Apple again? NOOOOO! Will I buy anything with an AMD card? NOOOOO! Your brand is mud. Can you, Apple and AMD, fix this? Yes, just provide driver updates for the video chipset in my $10K computer! It is insulting that I have to beg for you to do this. But ultimately, the future will be a vote with the wallet. You will have no body to blame but yourself for lackluster sales. Is it due to product design? No. Is it due to lost 'halo' effect? No. Is it due to atrocious customer support? Absolutely yes.
