The introduction of Nvidia’s 590 driver branch marked the official end of “Game Ready” support for the GTX 900 and 10 series graphics cards. Initially, the company’s supported hardware list contained an error, including the Titan GTX and several Pascal-based mobile GPUs. This oversight has since been rectified.
Nvidia has updated its documentation, removing all references to MX and Titan GTX GPUs from its list of actively supported hardware, a change first highlighted by VideoCardz. The company now confirms that all Pascal-based GPUs are transitioning to legacy status. This adjustment significantly impacts the entry-level laptop market, as nearly the entire MX series, with the exception of the Turing-based MX450 (TU117S), is now considered legacy.
The shift to the 590 driver branch also signals a significant change for the Titan series. With Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta architectures now deprecated, the list of supported Titan cards has been greatly reduced. Specifically, the Titan X, Titan XP, and Titan V no longer receive active driver support. The Turing-based Titan RTX is now the only model in the Titan family that continues to receive current driver updates.
It is important to note that while these GPUs are moving to legacy status, they will still receive critical security updates through a separate, dedicated driver branch.
