Quite a disappointment, to be honest. I'm still running a 1080ti, and this card is more than capable today. Obviously it's no 5090, but it runs everything I've wanted to play on it, par MHWIlds, which runs on newer systems just as poorly anyway
I just finally replaced my 1080 Ti with a 5070 Ti ~a month ago so I could play Doom:TDA since it requires ray-tracing. I didn't feel like my fps was suffering with the 1080 Ti at 1440p, but I doubled my fps in several games and it is pretty awesome.
It sucks, but the newest if those cards is almost 9 years old at this point. The 10 series was probably the best generation they have ever put out, and some of those cards are still relevant today.
That's a sober take. I am affected running a 1070. But I don't expect 10 years of drivers for an OS that makes out at most a few percent of the total.
If we look at steam survey. The 1070 is at like 0.78% of all Linux installs. While Linux as a whole is at 2.69%.
So less that 1% of less that 3%. Yeah, I would also kill support for that nieche
Guess I’ll buy that new amd gpu faster than expected
Open-source kernel drivers are harder for a company to stop supporting !
Ngl I am kinda glad I didn't get a GTX 10XX series GPU and I opted for a GTX 16XX series
Abandon nvidia. Buy amd/intel gpus.
I'm only 1 gen ahead with a RTX 2070 and I have yet to see a game not be able to run on Ultra on it ; but that's probably because I haven't been interested in any new release since Elden Ring 😅

That sucks. I’m running a 1080ti and with young children I no longer have money for upgrades.
Poor Volta...
