For those who are still running Fermi GPUs, you may find this interesting.

. . Between that and the release of Arecibo VLAR tasks to rigs with Nnidia cards could drive away many volunteers with Fermi GPUs.

I doubt any already-released driver will be remotely disabled: the only effect that no new drivers will be released. I haven't changed my Fermi driver for years: it'll go on working regardless, until the host computer wears out.
