That's the 700 series through the 1000 series, for anyone wondering. And also the Titan V that's on Volta, but it's not really a consumer card.

700 was Kepler (as was the 800-series). This is actually the 900-1000 series, and some Tesla cards (and the Titan V), since Volta was never used in a GeForce card.

It's a mix. The GTX745, GTX750 and GTX750 Ti are Maxwell. Anything higher is Kepler.

800 series doesn't really exist on desktop as it's mostly rebranded 700 series chips for laptops. This series is also a mix between Kepler and Maxwell, so it still applies.

Assholes, my main server GPU is Pascal! And it's perfectly fine!

Damn shame the GPU will just stop working and you can't just continue using it.

You're joking, but my server's GPU can't transcode media because jellyfin transcoding only works with the new drivers, and my GPU needs the tesla-470 drivers. It is able to transcode otherwise, but not compatible with the new software.

I mean, according to the name of the driver, it's based on version 470, which isn't new anymore. Also, that driver still supports Kepler, which NVIDIA dropped in 2021, so I don't think why that would stop working for newer architectures anytime soon.

Maxwell came out in 2014, Pascal in 2016 and Volta in 2017. Pretty long run for Maxwell in particular.

I was curious about the AMD side of things: They reduced support for Polaris and Vega (both 2017) in September 2023 already.
