Changed the thread title to remove the word "Driver". This spurring too many arguments.Little do you know that Nvidia has decided not support the GeForce GTX 900 series graphics card any longer in the future, which has been confirmed that the series has become part of NVIDIA's legacy products.
Although no official announcement was made, the GeForce GTX 900 series graphics card will no longer be receiving any form performance improvement for any upcoming game titles. A limited amount of support and fixes will still be provided to the GeForce GTX 900 series owners, but this makes it clear that NVIDIA will be focusing its effort on enhancing the new Pascal Architecture GPU GeForce GTX 1000 series to take on both Vulkan and DirectX 12 after a report that shows the GTX 970 defeated by AMD Radeon RX 480 and Reddit post showing GTX 1070 defeated by AMD Radeon Fury X on DOOM, being incapable to fully support Vulkan API and Asynchronous Computing.
http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=409017All it means is that we have stopped manufacturing the GPU. Most of the optimizations we add to our drivers are not architecture specific so they should help most GPUs. If we are going to stop providing driver support for a GPU then we use the term EOL or end of life. Some businesses depend on having access to a GPU for a long time so it is useful for them to know which GPUs are current and which GPUs we have stopped manufacturing.
as far as I know this legacy list doesn't mean legacy driver support,
like Kepler was already on the list for a while but is not considered on "legacy support", in the sense we are used to (not part of the main drivers support, which is still is)
Do you work for Nvidia and you know better then Nvidia driver team?its mean maxwell will not get driver improvement and u can surely kiss that async support goodbye
If anyone was actually holding out waitng on async support for Maxwell, they were/are delusional.its mean maxwell will not get driver improvement and u can surely kiss that async support goodbye

Yes, more in the form of bug fixes, compatibility issues and not performance optimisations.it's going to be released alongside the Fermi DX12 drivers :thumbsup:
(never)
but that's not because of this legacy list; it's simply not fast at it and Maxwell is still going to get driver optimizations, they are still doing for Kepler as far as I know.
Legacy just means they're not making the cards anymore.

In Doom I've seen benchmarks where Pitcairn beats the 780 ti. And before someone blames the 3GB, it's not bothering the 7970, which is beating the Titan by >10%. Kepler optimizations? Really?
Its not driver optimizations, its the difference in architecture between Kepler-Maxwell-GCN and low level api gains on gcn.
.
Where GCN pulls ahead in Vulkan, while on OpenGL The 770 beats the 370.
Normally I'm not one to readily agree with you Keys, but in this case you're spot on. Using the name "legacy" probably isn't doing NV any favors here, but this clearly has nothing to do with the drivers.Man, some of you guys will go along with, and say anything without actually knowing anything about anything.
