2015 should be fine. The card should have been still support that year.

Alternatively, some manufacturers keep drivers for their hardware for longer than others. One of them are Gigabyte:

ASUS is another:

He asked oldest drivers and one of the oldest for it seems 10.10e, but download link is dead by now.
