To be fair, Nvidia supports their newer GPUs well enough, so you may not have any problems for a while. But once they decide to end support for a product line, it's basically a death sentence for that hardware. That's what happened to me recently with the 470 driver. Older GPU worked fine until a kernel update broke the driver. There's nobody fixing it anymore, and they won't open-source even obsolete drivers.
