NVIDIA GPU End of Life (EOL) Dates & Support Timeline
Complete end-of-life dates, support windows, and security status for all NVIDIA GPU versions. Data sourced from endoflife.date and official vendor documentation. Updated at every deploy.
NVIDIA GPU Consumer Blackwell (GB20x) is supported, with no end-of-life or end-of-support date announced yet. The next NVIDIA GPU version to reach end of life is Professional Volta (GV100), on October 31, 2028. 12 of 36 tracked NVIDIA GPU versions are past end of life; the most recent to reach it, Professional Kepler (GKxxx), did so on September 1, 2024.

NVIDIA GPU release and support pattern
Of the 36 release lines tracked, 12 are past end of life and 24 are still within support. The newest line, mobile-professional-ada-lovelace, was released January 30, 2025. The next scheduled end of life is professional-volta on October 31, 2028 — 770 days from this build. The longest-supported line currently published is consumer-maxwell, to October 31, 2028.

What does NVIDIA GPU end of life mean for your organization?
When a version of NVIDIA GPU reaches end of life, the maintainers stop issuing security patches. Vulnerabilities discovered after this date are publicly disclosed on the National Vulnerability Database, exploit code appears on GitHub, and your systems remain permanently exposed.
The CVE blind spot: A CVE-based scan does not show the accumulation of unpatched vulnerabilities in EOL software. Some scanners flag unsupported versions of common products, but coverage varies, and none of them give you the date in advance. With a zero-day, nobody knows about the vulnerability. With EOL software, the vulnerability is public — listed, rated, and often weaponized — but no vendor patch is coming. This is one of the most dangerous gaps in enterprise security posture.
Organizations running EOL NVIDIA GPU should treat it as a vulnerability class in their risk register, apply compensating controls (network segmentation, enhanced monitoring, access restriction), and prioritize migration to a supported version.
Your options when NVIDIA GPU reaches end of life
There are four realistic paths. Which one is right depends far more on how long the system needs to keep running than on the version you are on today.
| Option | Best when | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Move to a supported version | The system will outlive the current version's support window and you can schedule the work | Budget for compatibility testing, not just the upgrade itself — that is where the real cost sits |
| Replace the component | The project is unmaintained, or a better-supported alternative exists | The replacement has its own lifecycle and its own end-of-life date — you are changing vendors, not escaping the problem |
| Commercial extended support | Not available for NVIDIA GPU from the original maintainer | Third-party vendors patch some end-of-life software on a custom basis; availability depends on the specific version and source access |
| Document accepted risk | The system is isolated, short-lived, or scheduled for retirement | Only defensible with real compensating controls and a written decision — auditors treat undocumented end-of-life software as a finding |
How to choose, in one question: how many more years does this system need to run? Under a year, extended support (where it exists) is usually cheaper than an emergency migration. One to three years, migrate — support purchased repeatedly costs more than doing the project once, and the project only gets harder as the version ages. Indefinitely, migrate now and plan the next migration before it surprises you.
Worth saying plainly, because vendors selling extended support rarely will: extended support is often the more expensive choice over a multi-year horizon. It is the right answer when a deadline is genuinely unreachable, not as a default. Compare the annual fee against the one-time cost of migrating before committing to either.
