For those of you that may be using these older cards...

And they are also ending support for 32 bit OSes...

 

If this affects you, here's to hoping your current drivers are good enough to carry the day going forward!

    They said they were ending Iray support for Fermi earlier, so this goes along those lines. This probably leads a lot of people to think Kepler will get axed soon, but I don't don't think so. Nvidia killed Tesla in 2016, so 2 years ago. At that pace it gives Kepler at least 2 more years. But for now, Kepler is still widely used. Kepler was one of the most successful releases in Nvidia's history, so I think think it will take a while longer. The popular 780ti is also a Kepler card. My guess for the end of support is about 2021 or 2022. 

    I think the 32 bit users will be more effected than Fermi.
