How is this even remotely relevant to the question posted?
They pulled support for a GPU still widely used. If you buy an NVIDIA GPU today you will most likely face the same problem a few years down the line.
That gpu generation is few moths shy of being 10 years old so it's unlikely 50 series would end support in a few years.
My secondary PC has a GPU in it that is more than 16 years old. Works as if it was brand new. I'd be pretty pissed if the support for any part of that PC just ended for no other reason that a billion dollar company trying to safe a few bucks 🤷
True that. That's why I originally chose amd components for this computer. They'll be supported until the sun explodes (give or take).
