Nvidia said it will halt Game Ready driver development for graphics cards built on its Maxwell, Pascal and Volta architectures after a final release scheduled for October 2025. The decision affects the GeForce GTX 7-, 9- and 10-series as well as the Volta-based Titan V, which together account for a sizeable share of the ageing PC gaming market. Once the cut-off arrives, the boards will receive only quarterly security patches until October 2028 and no further performance or bug-fix updates for new titles. The company also outlined a roadmap for Microsoft’s soon-to-be-retired operating system. While Windows 10 leaves mainstream support on 14 October 2025, Nvidia will continue issuing day-one Game Ready drivers for all GeForce RTX GPUs on the platform for an additional year, through October 2026, giving hold-outs more time to transition to Windows 11 or other operating systems. Alongside the announcement, Nvidia published driver version 580.88, adding optimisations for Hangar 13’s upcoming Mafia: The Old Country, JRPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and support for 62 additional G-Sync compatible monitors.
