It sucks, but the newest if those cards is almost 9 years old at this point. The 10 series was probably the best generation they have ever put out, and some of those cards are still relevant today.
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
Guess I’ll buy that new amd gpu faster than expected
Open-source kernel drivers are harder for a company to stop supporting !
Ngl I am kinda glad I didn't get a GTX 10XX series GPU and I opted for a GTX 16XX series
Abandon nvidia. Buy amd/intel gpus.
I'm only 1 gen ahead with a RTX 2070 and I have yet to see a game not be able to run on Ultra on it ; but that's probably because I haven't been interested in any new release since Elden Ring 😅

That sucks. I’m running a 1080ti and with young children I no longer have money for upgrades.
Poor Volta...
