Originally posted by Gusar View PostThis assumes such documentation exists and could quickly be released. I very much doubt that's the case. Which means they'd first need to go assembling various internal documents, sanitize them and then shape them into a form that can be released. Too much effort for EOL hardware, I don't see any incentive to do it.
However they should be able to release docs for their not quite so old cards (eg, GeForce 5,6,7)
