  • It's 2025, can we not display a warning message in pacman? Or letting it switch from nvidia-590 to nvidia-legacy?

    I'm not an arch user, I admit, I don't like footguns.

  • I believe the same SW version is packaged. Nvidia said they'd drop support in the 580 release, but they shifted it to 590 now.

    The arch issues are another layer of headache by the maintainers changing the package names and people breaking their systems on update when a non-compatible version is pulled replacing the one with still pascal support in it.

  • Are they supported longer on the windows driver?

  • According to the Steam HW survey around 6% of users are still using Pascal (10xx) GPUs. That's about 8.4 million GPUs losing proprietary driver support. What a waste.

     
        
    GPU    %
    1060    1.86
    1050ti  1.43
    1070    0.78
    1050    0.67
    1080    0.5
    1080ti  0.38
    1070ti  0.24
    
    
      

    Fixed: 1050 was masked as 1050ti

  • Making them open to contributions was the first step, but ok I won't engage in this petty tribalism.

    The topic was about nvidia's closed source drives.

    Valve couldn't do the same for pascal GPUs. Nobody but nvidia has the reclocking firmware, so even the reverse engineered nouveau NVK drivers are stuck at boot clock speeds.

  • You can't expect them to support every single product they've ever released forever. And they're still doing better than AMD in that regard.

    If nvidia had the pre-GSP cards' drivers opensourced at least there would be a chance of maintaining support. But nvidia pulled the plug.

    Intel's and AMD's drivers in the Mesa project will continue to receive support.

    For example, just this week: Phoronix: Linux 6.19's Significant ~30% Performance Boost For Old AMD Radeon GPUs These are GCN1 GPUs from 13yrs ago.

  • Make sure to check the compatibility matrix before getting a model not (fully) supported.

  • Must be an earlier revision. The PM just pinged me to add a fourth and fifth switch for "AI".

  • To fulfill the requirements.

  • If only they had a solid state technology that expanded system memory... Shutting down optane comes to bite them, again.

  • Like instinctual stuff you haven't experienced yet, I guess.

  • Self fulfilling prophecy?

  • You're right. Off-by-1 error. Would be a Z4 then.

  • D8 mod 4

  • RAM is the last component you should OC, it is arkane wizardry compared to CPU and GPU overclocking. Even a seemingly stable memory OC can crash at different workloads and when it does it gives seemingly unrelated errors that sends you down in endless rabbit holes.

  • This is why I buy (used) business class machines. They are at least one tier above the cheap, unreapirable crap OEMs peddle to regular consumers.
