Is this a new tactic of asking for help, by name calling?
Of course Apple has a responsibility. They provide us the hardware and the software (including drivers) to run Windows in Bootcamp. We pay dearly for that, and of course that responsibility does not end with the sale. And, in some cases they prevent us from running normal drivers on the hardware by using obscure HW IDs.
If you want to run windows on a Mac, you need to accept the limitations of this specific aspect. You made an ill-informed decision without researching what you wanted, and are now asking Apple to fix something, that they did not break. I am certain you have posted on the AMD user forums asking for an updated Mac driver which they have agreed to write and deliver, correct?
Have you asked the software vendors to port their applications to OSX also?
I agree that the hardware suppliers have a duty to provide standardised drivers for their hardware, but when Apple (in their infinite wisdom) than go and change the hardware, that duty falls on them! Anyone with a touch of sense can see that...
Apple did for the iMac 5K by writing their own TMCON. nVidia WHQL drivers seem to work well on Macs, why is AMD not working, can you please ask AMD to explain?
Apple, get this fixed...
This is why I had suggested Product Feedback. 😉
I suggest you buy a Dell/HP/Lenovo/Sony/... and run WHQL-certified drivers which will support AMD drivers also. Macs are not an astute choice for what you want.
