Nvidia to axe Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta GPUs with end of driver support — 580 series drivers will be the last to support GTX 900 and 1000 cards


Only a handful of Turing ‘GTX’ cards will remain supported after the 580 drivers.

According to an official Nvidia Unix graphics feature deprecation schedule, driver branch 580 will be the last to include support for these architectures (h/t Longhorn on X). (Image credit: Future)The key statement of intent from the updated schedule is as follows: “The release 580 series will be the last to support GPUs based on the Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta architectures.” Though it looks pretty certain to apply to Windows, too, we have reached out to Nvidia to remove any doubt regarding the support for GTX 900 and GTX 1000 cards on Windows. Quite remarkably, when the day comes and Nvidia moves onto the 590 driver branch, support for the storied GTX line will have almost come to an end.
