NVIDIA confirms end of support for GeForce GTX 700, 900 and 10 series after 580 drivers

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidias-next-major-gpu-driver-branch-to-drop-support-for-geforce-gtx-700-900-and-10-series

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.

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.

Of course it's slightly slower than a 4060, no Blackwell gpu can out perform it's next tier up Ada gpu.
