Don’t their current beta drivers support like… 10 year old products?
I have a lot of complaints about Nvidia (which is one of the reasons I moved away from their cards), but longevity of support hasn’t really been one of them.
It’s not a perfect comparison, but if we go by the Steam Hardware Survey, the first item I can find on the list that’s not supported with the latest beta drivers is the GT 730, at 0.21% of users. And it’s from June 2014.
Its passmark score is 835, which is lower than the 9 year old Intel HD 520 (867). I somehow doubt though that driver support for Vulkan/Wayland will be the major blocker.
Let me guess, only for newer GPUs?
desktop icons will only render on 5090 😎
Good to see those Cuda Cores finally getting used.

I have a 650m from 2013 (almost 10 years) and there are zero working drivers aside from noveau ones.
I have a gtx 670 from 12 years ago and nouveau is incredibly slow for me. I need to use the proprietary driver.
Yeah, but because pricing jumped like someone set a firecracker off under it’s chair people are actually still using vintage GPUs.

Their new, open driver only supports 2000+ series, so I guess that also applies here.
