You can still use the old drivers they work fine. This also isn't unique to Linux, Nvidia's latest Windows drivers also don't support 10 series cards anymore.

Unless the old drivers have security issues, then you're stuck with the nouveau driver which sometimes only has very basic support for some GPUs.
Is this the case for any hardware or are we discussing a purely hypothetical?
I have an old laptop with a GT 240M that's stuck in such a situation.
