I've got a dual GPU setup - RTX 5090 + GTX 1080 Ti which I use for my 3 displays. This way I can use the full 32 GB capacity of my RTX 5090 in ComfyUI. However, a few months ago Nvidia decided that they should drop support for the GTX 1000 series cards in their latest drivers. This means the latest driver that has support for both my GTX 1080 Ti and RTX 5090 is 581.57 which is now 6 months old.

Is there going to be any problems if I don't update and continue using the old driver from last year? Any benefits to using the newest drivers such as performance improvements, better stability, etc? I'm trying to decide if it's worth spending ~$800 on a new GPU in order to keep using new drivers with my RTX 5090.

Thanks in advance!
