    Remarkably, Nvidia are actually dropping driver support for the 3xxx series as crypto miners do not need any further updates.

    These companies just never stop with the idiocy. It isn't like Windows 8.1 is an ancient OS. Also facts are they have people doing one job most likely and so no reason they can't work a little more to keep drivers up to snuff. Finally Nvidia has enough money from overpricing cards to pay for this. **** Nvidia.

    Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 8.1 in 2018 (unless you are a large company handing over wads of cash), so Nvidia as a 3rd party supporting it until 2021 ain't that bad.

    I honestly think it is quite old, it was released 2013.
