Hey guys

I am using a Gigabyte GTX 980 Ti Xtreme Gaming right now, but some people are saying that Nvidia has listed it as a legacy GPU and won't provide software update for upcoming games for it. Is this true? I've recently bought the card so I am little worried about my cards future performance. Can you give me some legit information about the truth about it, please
Thanks in advance

The 'legacy' aspect is simply it's not the 'latest & greatest'.

You'll still get driver updates on a frequent basis. You'll start to see less optimizations for new titles as time goes on, but that won't be noticeable any time soon (if at all, really).

Don't sweat it.

You should not be worried too much about that! I am actually using a GTX780Ti and i get updates at least every month i think. Haven't paid that much attention about it but drivers are here i can assure you!
