The future of NVIDIA's support for its Kepler GPUs is in question

An NVIDIA datacenter document reveals that the cease for GPUs using NVIDIAs Kepler architecture is nearly. Or, at least, it was about, upwardly until a concluding-minute adjustment to the document that at present shows NVIDIA'southward support of Kepler GPUs as "ongoing."

Every bit spotted by TechPowerUp, NVIDIA's document detailed an end to Kepler GPU back up with the company'south upcoming R470 driver series. This would affect a good number of GPUs across the 600 and 700 series lines, though not all (as some Maxwell architecture GPUs would narrowly contrivance the cut) (via PC Gamer). All the same, PC Gamer noticed that Kepler GPU back up is at present labeled as "ongoing," rather than slated to end with the R470 driver stack.

It's a very recent change to the document, one that was made within the by few days. Why NVIDIA has made this alter is unknown, though one could guess it'southward because in that location'south a global graphics card shortage going on. Cutting off support for a legacy line at the current juncture would leave a lot of folks in a rough spot with no easy way to upgrade their manner back to relevancy with the best graphics cards (such equally the RTX 3060 Ti — practiced luck grabbing one of those).
