Media: NVIDIA will end support for Maxwell, Pascal and Volta graphics cards shortly after the release of the RTX 50 series
Already on 30 January, the first graphics cards of the new generation RTX 50-series from NVIDIA, based on the Blackwell architecture, will go on sale. But any progress is accompanied by the rejection of obsolete models, so soon some GPUs from NVIDIA will lose support.
Here's What We Know
In the CUDA software files we found a mention that NVIDIA will stop releasing updates for graphics cards based on older architectures, including Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta, in the near future.
This means that PC users with graphics cards from the GTX 700 to GTX 1000 series, as well as select Quadro and Titan GPUs, will not get the new features, but they won't stop working.
Many users may be saddened by the fact that this decision NVIDIA will affect the famous GTX 1060 graphics card, which until recently remained one of the most popular among PC-gamers.
The exact timing of the termination of support for these graphics cards has not been disclosed yet.
