Nvidia has begun to phase out support for Maxwell, Pascal and Volta graphics chips, but gamers have nothing to worry about yet

Nvidia has begun phasing out software support for Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta GPUs. Along with the release of the CUDA 12.8 accelerated computing library, the company announced that these architectures are now “frozen,” although they remain fully functional. This means that no new features will be added to the CUDA library for these architectures in the future.

It is still unclear when the support of players of game GPUs on the mentioned architectures will be stopped. The updated software tools presented in the fresh Cuda library contain integrated drivers with version 571.96, while current current drivers have version 566.36. At the same time, the version of applied software has not grown, moreover, the application itself seems to be incorrectly identifying this release of the driver, putting it as a “launch driver of 4070 Ti Super” (4070 Ti Super Launch Driver).

VideoCardz resource specialists studied updated drivers. They report that the support of Maxwell and Pascal in this version of the drivers is preserved and the probability of its termination at the moment is apparently small.

Maxwell generation chips were used in the GeForce GTX 700/900 line of video cards, and the Pascal architecture underlies the Nvidia GeForce GTX 10 series graphics accelerators. Volta chips were used in only one consumer model – the TITAN Volta. Nvidia has previously stopped supporting the legacy Kepler architecture; video cards from the pre-RTX era may be next.
