Overview

• Nvidia will issue a final Game Ready Driver for Maxwell, Pascal and Volta GPUs in October 2025 before ending feature updates for those architectures.
• After the last driver release, legacy GeForce cards will shift to quarterly security updates until October 2028 without further performance optimizations.
• The deprecation affects GTX 700, GTX 900 and GTX 10-series gaming cards along with workstation Volta GPUs such as Titan V and Quadro GV100.
• All GeForce RTX GPUs will continue receiving full Game Ready Driver support on Windows 10 until October 2026, one year beyond Microsoft’s end-of-support date.
• Nvidia’s support window of up to 11 years for these older GPUs surpasses typical industry cycles and may prompt users to plan hardware or OS upgrades.
