NVIDIA has confirmed that it will be dropping support for Kepler-based GeForce GTX and GeForce GT desktop GPUs in October 2021. “Game Ready Driver upgrades, including performance enhancements, new features, and bug fixes” will only be available for Maxwell, Pascal, Turing, and Ampere-based GPUs beyond that date. Critical security updates will continue to be available for Kepler-based GeForce GPUs through September 2024, however. NVIDIA will also be ceasing support for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 in October 2021.
