Nvidia has confirmed that the latest R470 GA5 graphics driver will be released on August 31st, with support for older GPUs and older versions of Windows.
The next driver R495, which is expected on October 4, will no longer support Windows 7/8 / 8.1 and video cards based on the Kepler architecture and older. Kepler is the architecture that brought the GeForce GTX 600 and GTX 700 series 3D cards to life. The GTX 750 and GTX 750 Ti models are based on the Maxwell architecture and will continue to be supported.
Nvidia explains the abandonment of the Kepler GPU by the fact that they are simply outdated and do not support many modern technologies. True, in an era of total shortage of video cards, such a move by the company can really upset a number of gamers. For example, the GeForce GTX 760 in Steam statistics is even higher than the GTX 980 and RTX 3060. And the performance of the GTX 780 Ti is enough for many modern games even now.
