Hello Nvidia,
We are a small business recently bought grid K1 and K2 grid gpus for our office, K2 was more than sufficient for our need. We are very much worried to find nvidia is no longer releasing grid driver. Here is a line from nvidia driver site, "Beginning with Release 375, the NVIDIA drivers no longer support the NVIDIA GRID K2, K1, K520, and K340 products."
If nvidia stops releasing driver for grid GPU, they should provide notice at least 24 months ahead, so people can avoid investing on these products. It shouldn’t be out of blue to bring a decision and cease to release drivers.
I highly discourage from such ill business practice and urge Nvidia to release drivers at least next 24 months.
First of all K1 and K2 cards are EOL and GRID moved into a software platform 1,5 years ago. It is correct that there won’t be support for K1/K2 with the new driver branches but it doesn’t mean that there is no driver for these cards any more. The R367 branch will be supported for the next years (no new features but bugfixes).
So what is the issue?
@mcerveny: I guess this is just a mistake with the latest Linux driver. If you look at the readme it shows the correct information: snip
Below are the legacy GPUs that are no longer supported in the unified driver. These GPUs will continue to be maintained through the special legacy NVIDIA GPU driver releases.
The 367.xx driver supports the following set of GPUs:
NVIDIA GPU product Device PCI ID* VDPAU features
GRID K340 0FEF D
GRID K1 0FF2 D
GRID K520 118A D
GRID K2 11BF D
snip
But thanks to bring this up so that we can correct the website.
