NVIDIA Drops Maxwell And Pascal GPU Support
6.0
NVIDIA has removed Maxwell and Pascal GPUs (GTX 900 and GTX 10 series) from the supported list in its beta Linux driver 590.44.01, ending regular Game Ready driver updates and limiting those cards to quarterly security patches. The 590 branch now targets Turing and newer desktop and mobile GPUs, so affected users will not receive day-one game optimizations and may need to upgrade.
Key Points
- 1Drops support for Maxwell and Pascal GPUs (GTX 900/GTX 10), excluded from Linux driver 590.44.01.
- 2Halts regular Game Ready updates, continuing only quarterly security patches due to age and driver branch changes.
- 3Means gamers lose day-one optimizations; practitioners should plan upgrades or monitor quarterly security releases.
Scoring Rationale
Official driver update confirms end of regular support, offering practical upgrade guidance but affecting only older GPU owners.
