      And with no real reason. The 1080 Ti in my machine runs better than a 4060 I tested some time ago (the only thing changed was the graphics card).

        And with no real reason

        The real reason is planned obsolescence. Your old GPU working is bad for NVidia because it means you’re not buying a new one from them.

    Of all the titles you could choose …

    The article is interesting in that it talks about pushing towards open versions of kernel modules, instead of legacy ones, and of much broader scope that the literal 2 lines you chose as title.

    Why not keeping the original?

      That doesn’t mean it’s good they’re deprecating cards to do it. They were still selling GT1030s new until relatively recently, and the GTX1080 is a perfectly workable card.

      If you think open versions are cool, how about them just open-sourcing the Maxwell & Pascal drivers? Oh, that’s right, they won’t because the “special sauce” is in the driver, not the card BIOS like it is for the Turing & up families.

      Because the open module is only for Turing or later GPUs, or Ada, and the open module is available for those since 2022 so it’s not that big of a news.

    How is nouveau doing for those older cards these days? Are they at least still usable as a display adapter?
