We’re now at a point where transitioning fully to the open-source GPU kernel modules is the right move, and we’re making that change in the upcoming R560 driver release.

Only 2000-series cards and newer are supported, but this is definitely a good change

Makes me wonder if there was some critical component of the pre-rtx cards that they couldn't open for some reason

I'm guessing the whole point of this is to boost AI. Pre-RTX have no tensor cores, therefore it would be a waste of time to open source.
