NVIDIA Ends Driver Support for Kepler GPUs (GTX 700/600 Series) with R470 drivers

NVIDIA Ends Driver Support for Kepler GPUs (GTX 700/600 Series) with R470 drivers

NVIDIA is moving Kepler GPUs towards legacy status, which means they'll be dropped from newer drivers starting at v470. 

It's been nine years since NVIDIA announced its GeForce GTX 600 series of graphics cards, but the official support for GPUs based on a Kepler graphics chip (GeForce GTX 700/600 series) , will be stopped after the arrival of the R470 drivers. You'll be able to see that confirmed in the table below, which is available in the manufacturer's official support documents. Kepler enabled the GTX 600/700 series, which many will remember for the back then powerful GeForce GTX 780 Ti 6 GB GDDR5, which debuted an NVIDIA GK110B graphics chip in a 28nm manufacturing process from TSMC, offering a total of 2880 Shading Cores, 240 TMUs and 48 ROPs at a Base / Turbo frequency of 875/928 MHz. Together with its 384-bit memory bus, it gave a bandwidth of 336.6 GB / s, with a TDP of 250W.

Please do take note that the GeForce GTX 750 Ti and the GeForce GTX 750 are not based on the Kepler architecture, but on the Maxwell architecture and, therefore, will not be left without support after the R470 drivers.

Just when Kepler owners are in dire need for an upgrade with zero availability of new GPUs.

Holding on to Kepler that long... you're doing something wrong.

I went from a 680 to 1070.

That's me right there... I had a GTX680 with a i7 950 which was a good fit. I transferred it over to my new Ryzen build because of shitty availability...
