Nvidia Closes Access to Updates for Its Video Cards for Russians

23.10.2024 21:42

It has become known what measures Nvidia has taken against Russians.

All owners of graphics processors from this manufacturer will now be unable to update the software if they are located in Russia.

A RIA Novosti correspondent personally verified this after checking the information received.

It is noted that the ban on any operations with licensed software is indicated by the inability to access the official driver update site for video cards.

When trying to update, a system message appears with an access error, and the request itself is blocked by the Edgecast WAF firewall.

Nvidia Company

Nvidia is one of the largest video card manufacturers in the world, founded in 1999. The company is also involved in developments in the field of artificial intelligence.

It is noted that Nvidia left the Russian business back in 2022. At that time, the company was informed about the introduction of export licenses for China and Russia: a ban was imposed on the sale of products to the aforementioned countries.
