As of today, NVIDIA stops offering its drivers for 32-bit operating systems, claiming that the number of users who use an operating system of these characteristics are a minority.

A few days ago it was already reported that NVIDIA would stop supporting Fermi graphics cards in their new drivers, a common process among hardware manufacturers, although it will continue to support security, until January 2019, with patches, if necessary. . NVIDIA's measure was to also leave 32-bit drivers out of the updates at the end of this month, due, among other things, to the fact that 32-bit operating systems are already obsolete, since the minimum that is usually recommended for gaming is 8GB of RAM and even Windows 10 has no 32bit mode.

Those users who do not want to jump to 53bits, will continue to have 32-bit drivers, but these will no longer receive any type of performance improvement or new compatibility updates. We must bear in mind that from January 2019 there will no longer be security updates for 32-bit operating systems, so it is important to update to a 64-bit version as soon as possible, in order to continue to have compatibility.

NVIDIA has highlighted that fewer and fewer users use a 32-bit operating system, since most users make use of 64-bit, so this measure should affect a reduced number of users.

The company will support Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, in addition to Linux, but always with 64bits at the forefront. We will reiterate that the GTX 400 Series and the GTX 500 Series based on Fermi, will also stop receiving support, so no performance improvements, bug fixes or new features for these graphics, which already represent a minority audience.
