IT'S OVER

MAXWELL - 2014 GeForce 700 (later), 900
PASCAL - 2016 GeForce 10 Series
VOLTA - 2017 TITAN V

NO MORE DRIVERS

end of an era

>>105811017 (OP)
Nouveau should have those GPUs covered.

1660 Super chads where we at.

>>105811017 (OP)
I still run a 980ti and can't remember the last time I updated my driver for it

>End of placebo updates
Oh no, anyway.

3060 12gb here. I'm just waiting for a 24gb 5070tis

>>105811017 (OP)
Windows 10's EOL made this inevitable. This is the end of Nvidia pure GPU era. Windows 11's successor will not support these architectures.
MFG is the future, whatever you like it or not.

>>105811017 (OP)
Good, then I'll finally be able to install drivers on my P40 that let me use it for PhysX with my 5070 Ti.

16xx soon
restricted compatibility for early rtx too

>>105813773
It's not my future, I always leave that shit turned off
Couldn't care less about slop slurped by everyone else

>>105811017 (OP)
only one surprising is the titan v, its very similar to turing, just lacking the rt cores. cost thousands, if you need any proof that nvidia is gay , that would be it.

>>105811017 (OP)
Swappin my 1080ti with 5070ti super duper 24 gb edition

>>105814395
Watch it cost more than $1200 because they'll make 5 of them

>>105811280
>>105812649
updating nvidia drivers fixed countless bugs and fps issues for my 1070 over it's entire life

you guys are just hurting yourselves with your impotent contrarianism

>>105811045
nouveau is multiple times slower than normal drivers.

On a side note, how did we happen that AMD has drivers now and nvidia's drivers are shit ? How did it happen ?

>>105814796
I've recently upgraded to a 9060 xt from nvidia and the driver experience has been worse for me
>adrenaline interferes with fan control software
>custom resolution far more clunky
>comes with more bloatware you have to remove
>but also has less customisation overall

it's not a big deal, but it is objectively worse

>>105814437
Literally all I hear about nvidia drivers these days is that they're completely fucked
If a card works fine why should people update?

I'm still using a GTX660

>>105811017 (OP)
why would you want drivers for these now?

>>105815056
>all i hear
/g/ is full of retarded contrarians who hate anything that is popular, as well as genuine schizo's who's opinions border on word salad

>If a card works fine why should people update?
If the card worked fine why would nvidia spend resources the updating drivers?

>>105815087
I guess my friends are contrarian schizos for mentioning their blackscreening problems after updating drivers on their 30 series cards.
I used a 1070 Ti for years without ever updating my drivers and I had no issues with it.

>>105815113
>bought a 70 series, bought a Ti version
>paid extra for more performance over multiple lower tiers of gpu
>then refuses to freely update drivers for similar performance gains
>all to smugly brag on /g/ that 'works on my machine, never updooting'

good for you champ

>>105815146
Ye, it was pretty good for me. So I never had a need to update.

>>105811045
Nouevau is still far from being competetive
https://youtu.be/A3eRdKlU2x4

>>105815198
and it was better for everyone else because they updated their drivers

>>105815210
Yeah I'm sure my friends are better off with blackscreens since they'll be motivated to go outside instead

>>105815269
works on my machine

>>105815289
Great, glad it's working for you anon

>>105811017 (OP)
Turing chads win again

>>105811017 (OP)
>Oh no, not the driver updates that keep causing BSODs and No-Signals for a solid year that just gets wont-fixed whenever you bring it up.

People owning those cards are the lucky ones, i say this as a 4080 owner.

Watch as the Windows baby ducks download and install unsigned GPU drivers from a Google Drive linked in a Chinese Youtube video in 5 years when they want to play SlorpoShoot 9 X (now with kernel-level spyware) to try and fix an instant game launch crash

So far only developer support has been dropped. Meaning you won't get updates for CUDA so you can't use it for AI purposes. Not that a lot of people used CUDA libraries for AI purposes on those cards anyway. You can still use VULCAN backend for AI purposes anyway and lose some % performance if you want.

Regular driver support will continue for about a year and from my experience GPUs hold out pretty well for a year or two after receiving the last driver update in terms of being able to start and run games fine.

This means people with any of these cards can probably stave off upgrading for 1-3 years time still if they wanted.

I have a RTX 3090 that I bought second hand for $250. So it isn't about money for most people as you can buy cards an order of magnitude faster than whatever you have for relatively low cost.

That said the issue with upgrading in my personal case is usually that it's too much effort. Not even about the monetary costs but having to bust out the PC into the office and replace parts and then do benchmarks and tests usually eats up an entire day which is very scarce if you are a working adult with kids like me and I assume a lot of /g/ oldtimers.

>>105816300
that's an amazing price for a 3090
I bought one in february for $700 and the same model is now selling for >$1100

>>105816303
Just a protip for future buying. Don't buy from second hand marketplaces like ebay. Instead look at refurbished equipment usually industrial websites locally. It's sold wholesale. I bought 2 RTX3090s for $500 total and gave one away as a gift. They were "mining cards" and thus sold for cheap because the refurbishment plant doesn't know the value of these cards and because retards think mining cards are destroyed.

In reality mining cards are almost mint and better than gaming cards because the load on them is consistent and not taxing, most miners undervolt their cards to get better energy efficiency out of them meaning they were barely taxed.

I always buy my hardware through refurbishment sales. And I mean ALL my hardware. eReaders/Tablets/Motherboards/RAM modules/Server CPUs ALL of it.

It's significantly cheaper and I assume most Ebay sellers are middle men that buy them up and then resell them.
