What other choice is there? SM had over a year to get SF compatible with Turing, but nothing ever came out of it and as of now it makes SF a dead end and a major problem for anyone looking to upgrade their GPU from Pascal. You saw the threads that were starting to become common on the SM forums, every week there was a question of why someones new video card wasn't working for SF and the answer was always the same.
I don't know if SM was unwilling to add that functionality to SF or they simply couldn't due to SF's implementation, but I don't think SM would purposely not add in functionality that would extend Posers life cycle. So I'm assuming that it's technically not a feasible feat with what we have right now. Though I'd love to be proven wrong and have a new update for PP11 that gives us support for Turing cards because being forced to use old hardware that's become even more expensive than the newer hardware is pathetic.
I honestly can't say for sure what was going on behind the scenes, but from what I picked up in general conversation my guess would be that SM didn't implement that just because SM didn't implement much of anything into Poser in the last couple of years.
