Nvidia Ends Driver Support for Older GPUs: Key Changes Ahead

Nvidia’s Major Shift in GPU Support

Nvidia has announced that it will discontinue driver support for several older GPU architectures, specifically Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta. This decision means that the GTX 900 and GTX 1000 series cards will no longer receive updates after the 580 series drivers. Users of these older graphics cards should prepare for the implications of this change.

After the shift, only a limited number of Turing ‘GTX’ cards will continue to receive support. This move highlights Nvidia’s focus on modernizing its driver support to enhance performance and security for current users. If you own one of the affected graphics cards, it may be time to consider an upgrade to ensure you can take advantage of the latest gaming and application technologies.
