How so? Nvidia dropped support, so as it stands you are at the mercy of the distro maintainers to keep the old drivers in the repos.

3rd party repos or packaging it yourself. On Arch you can just update the pkgbuild yourself (or any other distro really).

As far as I could tell Neuveu drivers do not support older cards at all. It does load into the environment, but crashes as soon as there's any rendering trying to happen.
