Nvidia recently launched the new 496.13 graphics driver, bringing some considerable changes. Besides introducing DLSS to 10 new titles, Nvidia’s latest driver also brings optimisations for Back 4 Blood, Crysis Remastered, Baldur’s Gate 3 and a few more games. However, it also comes with its downsides, as it won’t support Windows 8.1, Windows 8 and …
Nvidia could stop supporting older Kepler GPUs, even if you can’t buy a new card If you haven’t been able to grab yourself one of the current best graphics cards because of inflated prices caused by the current silicon shortage, there’s potentially some bad news if you’re rocking a card with Nvidia’s older Kepler GPU architecture, first launched back in 2012. A report from Techpowerup states that Nvidia plans to remove support for Kepler-based models in the future R470 series of drivers, leaving Maxwell as the oldest supported architecture. This includes previously popular models su...
Nvidia is expected to begin releasing its version 470 drivers starting in a few weeks time (current GeForce driver is version 466.47). Phoronix reports that Linux users are looking forward to the new series as it will deliver "better Wayland support," but the updated CUDA documentation informs us that the v470 drivers will be the last to offer support for Nvidia Kepler GPUs. The Nvidia version 470 driver series will likely run until Q4 this year, but after these drivers are succeeded by the next series it doesn't mean your Kepler GPU packing graphics card will become useless. All that happens...
What you need to know NVIDIA had a document detailing the end of support for its Kepler-based GPUs. NVIDIA has since updated the document to state that support will be ongoing. This quiet update indicates that 600/700 series owners can breathe a little easier. An NVIDIA datacenter document reveals that the end for GPUs using NVIDIAs Kepler architecture is nigh. Or, at least, it was nigh, up until a last-minute adjustment to the document that now shows NVIDIA's support of Kepler GPUs as "ongoing." As spotted by TechPowerUp, NVIDIA's document detailed an end to Kepler GPU support with the compa...
But is it a little premature? on May 23, 2021, 10:37 TL;DR: Nvidia has confirmed in their data center documentation that the Kepler architecture will be supported by only one more generation of drivers, which means that in a few months, GeForce GTX 600-series, some GTX 700-series and GeForce 800M GPUs will be limited to the games of the past. Soon Nvidia will roll out the R470 generation of drivers, and those will stick around for about a quarter before being replaced by a subsequent generation. But Kepler GPUs won’t be supported from that point forward, which means th...
