NVIDIA releases driver update for Maxwell and Pascal GPUs — it focuses only on security fixes, but it's still crucial for the older cards

NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti.

NVIDIA's Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta series GPUs no longer receive Game Ready Driver updates as of last year, but that doesn't mean they're being entirely ignored by the company. That's good news since a lot of these cards are still faithfully serving PC gamers and developers.

On January 28, 2026, NVIDIA released a security-focused driver update (version 582.28 WQHL) for its legacy cards with a focus on eliminating five vulnerabilities. The driver release notes oddly don't list the vulnerabilities it fixes, but you can read, in detail, on NVIDIA's Security Bulletin page.
