NVIDIA Confirms 580 Linux Driver Is The Last For Maxwell (GTX 750 and GTX 900 series) / Pascal (GTX 1000 series) / Volta (TITAN V / Quadro GV10)

I just finally replaced my 1080 Ti with a 5070 Ti ~a month ago so I could play Doom:TDA since it requires ray-tracing. I didn't feel like my fps was suffering with the 1080 Ti at 1440p, but I doubled my fps in several games and it is pretty awesome.

That's a sober take. I am affected running a 1070. But I don't expect 10 years of drivers for an OS that makes out at most a few percent of the total.

If we look at steam survey. The 1070 is at like 0.78% of all Linux installs. While Linux as a whole is at 2.69%.

So less that 1% of less that 3%. Yeah, I would also kill support for that nieche

Open-source kernel drivers are harder for a company to stop supporting !
