Bummer, these cards still perform reasonably well for non-AAA / 1080p gaming.
- I played through RDR and RDR2 on a 1060 and i7-4770k, and it ran fine at 1200p. Damned shame that these cards won't ve getting updates anymore.
  But they're stable as they stand and we WILL be getting security updates, so my card is going to run another year.
  
  Shit I was using a GTX 1080 at 4k until like 2 years ago. As long as you're fine with 45-60fps and medium settings it will do it on everything but the most demanding AAA games. Forza ran great on it.
This is why we use open source drivers
I think Linux will support those up to a certain version of the drivers. That's from what I researched.
Edit: To clarify, I think this GPU will be somewhat supported on Linux, but that I'm not entirely sure on.
Until games decide to fuck people with older drivers (looking at you, No Man's Sky), people will rightfully keep their cards chugging along
