... and like any new software from NVIDIA it only supports the most recent generation of cards.

In normal times that might be a fair way to get people to upgrade but in the last few years (when crypto bros and scalpers have gotten all the cards) it's been outright cruel.

Turing is not the most recent generation of cards.

But that aside, Turing is their first generation that a GPU System Processor (GSP) that runs the heavy binary blob that comes with the open source driver.
