Nvidia is preparing to end the driver’s support for GTX 1080 Ti and GTX 1000 series, one of the popular graphics cards. According to CUDA 12.8 version notes, Maxwell, Pascal and Volta architectures will now be described as “removed from use”. In other words, the development of new CUDA features for the aforementioned graphics cards is stopped. So what will happen now? Details in our news…

Nvidia ends driver support for Maxwell and Pascal graphics cards like GTX 1080 Ti

With the release of CUDA 12.8, the Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti and other Pascal architecture will expire for graphics cards. Although Pascal architecture is still officially supported, new features or optimization will not be added. Maxwell and Volta architectures were similarly classified as “old .. So Nvidia will now focus on the new generation graphics cards.

As you know, Cuda plays a major role in Nvidia’s parallel calculation platform and programming model, as machine learning, scientific calculations and video editing. However, users with these old architecture may be deprived of future performance improvements or optimizations for CUDA -based applications.

It may be a dream to buy Nvidia RTX 5090: Well, why?

The latest news about the Nvidia RTX 5090 shows that it will not be easy to access the new generation graphics card.

According to Steam’s hardware statistics, Pascal architecture is still very popular and GTX 1000 series models make up more than 7 %of the market. However, the termination of official driver’s support for the owners of these cards has created uncertainty. What do you think about this? You can write your opinions in the comments section below…
