Comment on Microsoft made me sign in on their Xbox Accessories app to update the firmware on my controller

Wait for real??? You make an NVIIDA account now? I haven’t had an NVIDIA card since my 980Ti… Is this account insanity true for the proprietary Linux driver too?

No, you can download the proprietary drivers with a package manager

That card was so good for so much longer than it had any right to be.

  Omg absolutely, what a workhorse. I ended up slapping on a custom vBIOS, aggressive overclock, and swapped the AIB’s air cooler for a little closed loop 120mm water cooler. I say “since my 980Ti” as if it was long ago, but I ran it until it died in 2020, and if it was still functional, I’d probably still be using it. RIP what a loss. The 6GB of VRAM were starting to get tight and DX12 was starting to age it, though, but it was still totally holding up.
  
  Now I am on a 6900XT with the navi21 XTXH chip in it. I bet I’ll skip at least as many generations with this as I did with the 980Ti.

  Can 100% confirm. Had a friend use that card for many years until it started crashing whenever it got over about 90% utilization, even when underclocking it. That happened about 5 months ago now. They currently have a 3060. But they used that 980Ti for everything and it played all the games they had without a hitch. It was one hell of a card and had an amazing run
