Nvidia is set to launch its new RTX 50-series GPUs, starting with the RTX 5090 based on the new Blackwell architecture. Concurrently, it will halt support for its older GPU architectures, including Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta, as noted in CUDA release documents. These architectures cover GPUs from the GTX 700 to GTX 1000 series. Although current drivers still support these older models, the absence of new CUDA feature support signals a nearing end to active development for these GPUs, aligning with industry trends of phasing out older technology every few years.
Nvidia is launching the RTX 50-series GPUs, beginning with the RTX 5090, while winding down support for older architectures like Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta.
The CUDA release notes indicate that support for Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta is 'feature-complete' and will receive no new features in future updates.
