NVIDIA's new graphics card GTX 900 series has become an "antique" and has been abandoned
|
Although there is no factual evidence to support this, there is a legend circulating among many gamers - NVIDIA graphics cards are negatively optimized, and (everyone believes) the official deliberately uses this method to force players to upgrade, while AMD graphics cards are getting better and better at optimizing old cards, and the gaming performance of the first-generation GCN graphics cards is still improving. In fact, negative optimization is more of a fantasy. The changes in AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards under different drivers are related to their architecture changes. AMD's GCN architecture has actually been used for many years, and the benefits under DX12 are more obvious than NVIDIA graphics cards, so there is such an illusion.Graphics cards such as GTX 980/980 Ti have been included in the legacy support list. However, it would be wrong to say that NVIDIA is completely innocent. At least some of their practices do give people an excuse - there is no problem with launching new graphics cards, but there is no need to abandon old cards in a hurry. Now NVIDIA's driver support adjustment for Maxwell architecture graphics cards is going to leave people with complaints again - GTX 900 series graphics cards have been included in the legacy support list. NVIDIA's legacy graphics cards include the GTX 900 series and GTX 750 Ti. NVIDIA's focus this year is the Pascal architecture. It has currently launched the GTX 1080 8GB, GTX 1070 8GB, GTX 1060 6GB and Titan X 12GB. This month, there will be a 3GB GTX 1060 graphics card. If you don't count the GTX 1050 graphics card that may or may not be released, NVIDIA's GeForce 10 series graphics cards are almost complete. This market layout capability is really worthy of admiration. AMD's RX 480 launch was difficult and the speed was much slower. However, NVIDIA's main sales force is still the GTX 900 series with Maxwell 2.0 architecture. The GTX 750 Ti with Maxwell 1.0 architecture has not been delisted. It's just that they have been officially marked as "antiques" by NVIDIA - including GTX Titan X, GTX 980 Ti, GTX 980, GTX 970, GTX 960, GTX 950 and GTX 700 series GTX 750 Ti graphics cards have been marked as "legacy" legacy support. Entering the ranks of legacy, although this does not mean that the official completely abandons these graphics cards, according to past experience, legacy graphics cards will only be updated in the first time when bugs or other serious problems occur, which usually also means that there will be no new features or performance improvements in graphics card driver support. NVIDIA's optimization focus should be on Pascal graphics cards. From the official perspective of NVIDIA, since the GeForce 10 series is almost out, it is normal for the GeForce 900 series to be put into the cold palace, and the new driver does not mean that these legacy graphics cards are no longer supported. They should be supported. As for everyone's concern that Maxwell architecture graphics cards will not have performance and function optimizations in the future, the official level will definitely not confirm these things to you. In addition, the Maxwell architecture has been released for more than two years, and everything that can be optimized has already been optimized. Now don't expect that the previous generation of graphics cards will suddenly have a magic driver to greatly improve performance. Even if the manufacturer can really make such an optimization, it will only be used on new graphics cards. Well, this time we are back to the "negative optimization" mentioned at the beginning.
