If you’re still using an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060, and the Steam Survey suggests a lot of gamers currently are, then it looks as though you’re about to lose driver support for this GPU. According to Nvidia, the forthcoming 580-series of Nvidia GeForce drivers will be the last branch that supports Maxwell and Pascal GPUs, which covers all GTX 900 and 1000 graphics cards, with the exception of the few GTX 1600-series cards that were based on the later Turing architecture.
The GeForce GTX 1060 has proved to have a surprising amount of staying power, and even now you’ll regularly see this Nvidia GPU listed in the minimum system requirements for the latest games. It’s also currently ranked 12th on the May 2025 Steam Survey out of all the GPUs used by gamers who took part in the last survey, with 2.24% share of the market. As a point of comparison, the highest-ranked RTX 5000-series GPU on the survey is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070, with 0.71%. In fact, we ranked the aging GTX card number four on our guide to the best PC gaming hardware ever.
