Fuck HDMI and their stupid standards that aren't backwards compatible. Fuck their DRM supporting asses. These updates are usually just an excuse to close the analogue loophole for a month or a year, until it is broken again.

Huh? HDMI is backwards compatible. You can use a 2.1 cable with 1.4 devices for example. Unless you meant something else?

That sucks. It's backwards compatible on literally any other hardware combination.

Well it probably would be if there were a driver for it, but AMD was unsuccessful in convincing the HDMI forum to let them open-source a driver. Intel gets around it by using an adapter on the card.
