NVIDIA ending full driver support for GPU's older than GTX 400

4.4
Today NVIDIA announced that it has decided to drop support for a wide array of legacy cards with the release of latest driver. Cards older than the GTX 400 will simply no longer be supported via regular driver updates. While full driver support for these cards is now gone, limited support and bug fixes will continue to be provided until April 1st 2016. Many of the cards being phased out of regular support include cards up to a decade old, this is definitely a sufficient and lengthy period of regular support.

Older than the 400 series is pretty old. Standards change fast and NVIDIA has new cards to support.
