Support for NVidia Quadro P6000 card?

After Effects is telling me that the Quadro P6000 is unsupported.  Is this true?  Or am I misunderstanding what it's saying when I'm selecting GPU CUDA support in the preferences?

I'm running WIndows 10 64-bit on an HP Z840.  Obviously running the Quadro P6000.  I haven't noticed any problems, but I also noticed that the P6000 is not listed in the rundown of supported cards.  Thank you for any input on this!

Where is it telling you that your card is unsupported? If you are referring to the ray-traced renderer settings, I wouldn't worry about that. That feature is considered obsolete and has been developmentally dead for a while as far as Adobe is concerned (see this page). If you really do want to use that one feature, there are suggestions I could make. However, it might be better to use the Cinema 4D renderer instead as that is actively being developed and supported.

The newly GPU-accelerated native effects should work just fine on your card and they have nothing to do with the old ray-traced renderer. Same with third-party effects like Red Giant Universe, Element, Zaxwerks 3d Invigorator, ShapeShifter, etc. The ray-traced renderer doesn't have anything to do with any of them.

I guess my question here is also if Adobe will be supporting the Pascal cards in the near future.

these are user-to-user forums so you won't get an official response here.

it's also unlikely you'll get it anywhere until adobe makes an announcement because adobe plans are, afaik, subject to nda's.
