   If only AMD did this.

      Is there financial incentive for them to bother?

         Perhaps not but one of the great things about Nvidia is their latest drivers often support very old cards.

            I've been having issues with kernel updates because Nvidia dropped support for my GPUs. Apparently 9 years was the threshold for their "very old card" support because Pascal is now over.

            The community can't fix it because their drivers are proprietary blobs. Open source drivers are essentially useless. I'll have to stick to something like Ubuntu to keep the hardware working without fighting DKMS every update.

            This is the reason my next GPU will be either AMD or Intel.
