NVIDIA GPU Consumer Fermi (GF1xx)* End of Life Date
NVIDIA GPU Consumer Fermi (GF1xx)* end-of-life date, support status, and CVE risk. Data from endoflife.date and official vendor documentation.
NVIDIA GPU consumer-fermi was released on March 26, 2010 and support ended on March 10, 2018 — a supported lifespan of 8 years, shorter than the 11 years and 6 months median for NVIDIA GPU releases. It has been without security patches for 8 years and 5 months. 15 newer NVIDIA GPU releases have shipped since.

What does NVIDIA GPU Consumer Fermi (GF1xx)* end of life mean?
When NVIDIA GPU Consumer Fermi (GF1xx)* reaches end of life, the maintainers stop issuing security patches for this version. CVEs discovered after the EOL date are publicly disclosed on the National Vulnerability Database with no patch available. Exploit code frequently appears on GitHub within days of disclosure.
The CVE blind spot: Most vulnerability scanners check for known CVEs but do not flag the ongoing accumulation of unpatched vulnerabilities in EOL software versions. Running NVIDIA GPU Consumer Fermi (GF1xx)* past its EOL date creates a permanently growing attack surface that standard security tooling will not surface.
Migrate to NVIDIA GPU Mobile Professional Blackwell (GB20x) or implement compensating controls — network segmentation, enhanced monitoring, restricted access — while migration is underway.
