There is a reason why nvidia is ending support. If an user is going to continue to use something that is no longer supported, shouldn't he check the reasons why?
Simply the computer and the card was over ten year old, simple as that. Nvidia decided to no longer support that particular card. I had been using that computer for many years, and one day I had to remove the proprietary driver, and eventually buy another computer⁽¹⁾ I have that computer in storage, so finding out exact details needs finding a table and connecting it. (1) The motherboard was limited to 8GiB, and I needed more; the machine was swapping. Also VMware stopped supporting that processor. Ie, I had three big reasons for replacing the machine. Then two years ago, I put it to service again as a computer for guests on another location, temporarily. Ah, the card was this one: https://www.msi.com/Graphics-Card/N9500GTMD1GOCD2/Specification -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
