I have a lot of complaints about Nvidia (which is one of the reasons I moved away from their cards), but longevity of support hasn't really been one of them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] arality@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) I have a 650m from 2013 (almost 10 years) and there are zero working drivers aside from noveau ones. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago I have a gtx 670 from 12 years ago and nouveau is incredibly slow for me.

And it's from June 2014. Its passmark score is 835, which is lower than the 9 year old Intel HD 520 (867). I somehow doubt though that driver support for Vulkan/Wayland will be the major blocker. permalink fedilink source parent [+] velox_vulnus@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] electricprism@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago Only $2,999.98 permalink fedilink source parent [–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* Their new, open driver only supports 2000+ series, so I guess that also applies here. permalink fedilink source parent
