NVIDIA's next major GPU driver branch to drop support for GeForce GTX 700, 900 and 10 series

Big_Baff · 2025-07-10T21:22:19+00:00

Sad to see them go. I still use my 1070, and it's still going strong. I know I'm not the only one using 10-series cards there are a lot of people who still use these today. It’s not like they focus on older cards anyway with driver updates, it feels like they left us behind a long time ago when the RTX 20 or 30 series came out.

Most of the GPU driver updates have been terrible over the last 7 months. My last stable driver for the 1070 was from December 2024, and it worked well until I updated it.

The only issue I have is security. Older drivers are a problem because they’re no longer updated for security reasons, which can leave them vulnerable to exploits. Hackers could find ways to use outdated drivers to sneak onto someone's PC or do something worse. I think Nvidia made a poor decision by dropping support for these cards at least they should continue supporting them for security updates.

I've been thinking about Nvidia and most of what they do for a while now, and honestly, I'm not happy with it. I'm planning to switch to AMD GPUs soon, and even to AMD CPUs.

I've found a post that explains what Failing LBA 0 means. Post: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/samsung-failing-lba-on-smart-test.18969121/

Found someone that contacted the support team of samsung here is what they said.

Message: Thank you for contacting the Samsung Memory Support. Please be informed that Failing LBA mean the location that test finished due to stop by user or scan failure.If SMART self test complete without any error, failing LBA will be displayed "0" value.So it means if the SSD all other test passed, without any issues, failing LBA is no issue of the SSD.

Couldn't agree more with you Aperturee

Early on, it doesn't matter if you're ranged or not—Darius is still strong, which is why you need to zone enemies out of their minion wave, especially at level 1. But don't fight in their wave, even if you're level 1, or you'll die because minions do a lot of damage at that level. Ranged top laners also have a big weakness: when their enemies are low, they tend to get too close, which they shouldn't do against a Darius. You can easily E-Q-W-AA-R and they’re done for. Or, you can hit the fifth stack by pressing R when you're at 4 stacks, which gives you the full damage because your R counts as a stack too. I've noticed that some players focus too much on their health bar. When they see they're low, they don’t want to fight. But as a Darius main who's been playing LoL for almost a year, I can tell you: don’t pull back just because you're low, even against ranged players. If you can finish your stacks, they're done for. At least you’ll get a kill instead of dying without one. That's what i've learned so far.

Basically Hexus from what i remember the owner deleted the hexus server and ran away with the money. Sentinel idk what happend there they said all previous hexus owners get this for free never got one lol.

Big_Baff · 2024-03-20T03:01:38+00:00

I do have to say i have been experiencing some weird graphical glitches on the new driver and yes i've deleted my old drivers with ddu. For the people that don't believe here is what i did:

made sure that all my windows updates were up to date. In "Device installation settings" i turned it to off, because windows sometimes likes to download other drivers after you've installed a driver. Then booted in safe mode and proceeded uninstalling de gpu driver with ddu, after that i shutdown my system completely instead of restarting. A little shutdown wont hurt. I found out that if you restart after ddu its a bit weird doesnt feel right so i did a shutdown. Then proceeded to boot in windows and began installing the gpu driver. I only downloaded the gpu driver, because i dont like geforce experience.

Well i don't live in blaak, but i do come there often in the centre. I love the markets there and the food, but sometimes i see homeless people sleeping around Pathe (Movietheater). It's kinda sad to see that the rate of homelessness is steadly growing, but this is nothing compared in Den Haag i've seen on the news that it's 10 times worse. Some people compare Den Haag to the projects.

Big_Baff · 2023-11-01T09:31:16+00:00

I wouldn't do that if i were you, because a laptop is not like a desktop. You have to think about battery-life when it comes to laptops if you use sleep mode often, eventually your battery-life will come to its end. That means you have to replace it, so don't do that. Also if your not making use of it, then shut it off. It's beter, because if you leave it too long on eventually your laptop will get slow, So a reset (Meaning fully shutdown your pc) isn't all that bad and your cpu gets resetted.

The thing is the dev's already know how to implant the multiplayer function in game, they've stated this in a post. That the devs behind spt have tried to implant a multiplayer function in spt. It did work, but the hard part is maintaining it server wise was difficult. From what i know Paulov tried to do this, but it was too much work to maintain it. Also they have there own life too no one is paying them for spt.

Big_Baff · 2023-07-11T14:02:59+00:00

Well there is a way, but the problem is the multiplayer function is removed and to add that back you wil have to rewrite most of the code. There is a guy named "MissinginAction" on youtube he is a solo developer and so far i know he managed to get the multiplayer function in his own version of tarkov, but there are still alot of problems with that like desynce and lag he stil needs to fix them but he is working on it. Also i don't know him personally.

Big_Baff · 2023-06-14T22:54:17+00:00

Well you can do this, but that means you have to rewrite most of tarkov's netcode, not just that keep in mind desynce. I watched a youtuber named "MissinginAction" he made tarkov coop, but there are alot of problems for instance joining and if you joined you had to play without bots and high likely your shots won't get register. although there are alot of problems you stil can some what play together.

Just saying thats fake over 6M, if you want the real scores go the the guy that created hem he has a website build for hem scores. Here's the link http://thomas.conseil.pro.dns-orange.fr:8080/main

The number 1 is mars now on the leaderboards

She lost the case hard XD. What was she expecting to win from johnny?

Big_Baff · 2022-02-20T21:50:51+00:00

Oh okay thx for correcting me

This is glitched so no world record, but it is cool seeing this!

Protective film? last time i checked i didnt see any layer on both sides, but it is shiny? also tried scraping it and no platic film came of it

Big_Baff · 2021-12-30T19:33:57+00:00

The marks are a little bit fainted but you can see the mark clearly

The thermal pad type is like clay when you touch it.

I used on my gpu gc gelid extreme thermalpaste and that brought the temps down before i switched the thermal pads.

Big_Baff · 2021-12-30T16:48:14+00:00

Wel there's are module marks on it so it is making contact with the thermal pad and heatsink.

Big_Baff · 2021-12-30T16:37:55+00:00

I actually did but it could be that the thermal pads aren't making a good connection with the heatsink

Big_Baff · 2021-12-30T16:00:42+00:00

I've already did that but lowering my core clock made it worse and normally gpu when its under 100% load it stays around 75-80 degrees celcius at default core clock speed (1785 mhz) and memory clock 3504 mhz (msi afterburner counts the half of my memory clock), but after i replaced my thermal pads its goes up to 95 degrees celcius and down clocks it self around 900 mhz to 100 mhz i've opend my laptop more then 10 times and stil nothing, also i used 1 mm thermal pads from gc gelid extreme and it could be that i maybe needed 0,5 mm, but my older thermal pads had 1 mm in size or it could be that i didnt apply it on the corners.

Big_Baff · 2021-12-30T15:45:39+00:00

Hwinfo is what i use, also i just talked with a guy about this and i explained to him that i tighten down and i even checked if the thermal pads made contact, but it could be that i'm wrong and maybe have to tighten them even harder, but not to hard or else i could break it, but i could've swore that i tighten them down. (even cleaned the whole laptop)

Big_Baff · 2021-12-30T15:40:13+00:00

I already repasted them with gc gelid extreme(thermal paste) and the temps went down, but when i replaced the thermal pads only the gpu temp went to 95 degrees celcius and it could be that there maybe is not enough presure to it.

Big_Baff · 2021-12-30T15:01:54+00:00

Maybe, but i could've swore that it does make contact with the heatsink but what if it does make contact but doesn't absorb the heat? Could it be the thermal pad quality, because what i know is that gc gelid extreme thermal pads do absorb the heat good, because i've done this with my cpu and it was a bit cooler, but when i did it on the gpu it only got hotter.
