With the update to driver version 590, the NVIDIA driver no longer supports Pascal (GTX 10xx) GPUs or older.

Impact: Updating the NVIDIA packages on systems with Pascal, Maxwell, or older cards will fail to load the driver, which may result in a broken graphical environment.

Intervention required for Pascal/older users: Users with GTX 10xx series and older cards must switch to a legacy driver to maintain support:

• Install the official linuxXXX-nvidia-575xx, linuxXXX-nvidia-570xx, or related DKMS packages.

Hello everyone!

My PC has a “GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB)” built in, so I’m affected by the Pascal support being phased out.

Here you write that I should install the 575xx or 570xx drivers.

@philm

we dropped NVIDIA driver series 570xx and 575xx

And here it says that these are now going to be removed too. Now I’m a bit at a loss (because I’m a beginner). What exactly should I do now? The drivers I’m supposed to use are being removed.

Thx for help!
