NVIDIA confirms end of support for GeForce GTX 700, 900 and 10 series after 580 drivers
End of an era. 8+ years for Pascal and 11 years for Maxwell is a pretty long driver support program but I suppose that when a 4060 can out perform a 1080 Ti, it's about time to upgrade. Still I would have liked 11 years for Pascal as well but it is what it is. GTX certainly went out with a bang by effectively making Turing a pointless upgrade, especially when 1080 Tis were going for $500 usd near the end before being fully replaced.

GeForce RTX 5050 becomes third 8GB desktop Blackwell GPU to launch without reviews
A bad precedent is being set for sure. This is what happens when a gpu vendor has 90%+ of the market share while it's competitors fumble for generations. The fucked up thing is 90%+ of the market share including all the desktops/laptops/dgpus etc still counts for less than 10% of the overall revenue that Nvidia is making.
