NVIDIA have given an update on their driver support for various GPUs, with an upcoming update being the last for a whole lot of cards.
While there's no set date for when the NVIDIA 580 driver series will land for Linux, as NVIDIA don't have a public release schedule, they've now confirmed the 580 series will be the last supported for GPUs based on the Maxwell, Pascal and Volta architectures.
So with that in mind you're looking at various cards across the GeForce 700 series, GeForce 900 series and GeForce 10 series. The cards should still keep running for quite some time after NVIDIA move on from the 580 series, but eventually you'll notice issues with newer Linux kernels, games and applications.
Hopefully the open source Mesa drivers like NVK and Zink will continue to improve. Back in April, Collabora did announce these three architectures hit Vulkan 1.4 support for NVK.
The most recent driver releases were 575.64 and 570.169 released June 17th.

Sadly, these are the cards that are still restricted to slowest clock speeds.As far as I know the main issue isn't that we can't reclock the GPU (I some where heard that either the 9xx or the 10xx series can be reclocked) but that we can't change the voltage which makes the reclocking meaningless.

IIRC, the problem was controlling the fan itself. If it can be controlled separately, like in a laptop or something, it could work.
I roughly remember a Nouveau dev running Hollow Knight smoothly on one of these "non-reclockable" GPUs that way.
The overall idea is the same though. Nouveau devs cannot control the parts they need to control to run these cards faster.

10xx still covers around %10 of Steam survey and is more than enough for some people. They got the cut too early and new Mesa drivers can't properly support them due to no GSP.
They still do get the next driver. The next driver series. So I think it sounds more dangerous than it is at the moment.
(It gets closer to my GTX 1660S though...)

And the 580 branch will be carried in distro repositories for a very long time, just like all the other legacy branches.
