NVIDIA Outs WHQL-certified GeForce Drivers for Windows 8.1 Preview
NVIDIA released some of the first WHQL-certified drivers for Windows 8.1 Preview, with its WHQL-signed GeForce drivers that are WDDM 1.3 compliant. Labeled GeForce 326.01 WHQL, these drivers cover all GeForce GPUs since 6-series, across desktop and notebook platforms separately (separate drivers for desktop and mobile GPUs). In its release notes, NVIDIA didn't list out any changes to the version from previous versions, but mentioned support for even the latest GeForce GTX 760 graphics card, so the support list is up to date.

This was linked to in the original post.
Also, previous to this release the Geforce 6 series received a WHQL driver back in February(307.83).
Edit: Wait, that isn't the support list for this specific driver, BTA made that kind of confusing and was also wrong in saying these drivers support all the way back to the 6 series because they don't. It seems this driver doesn't support the Geforce 6 series or 7 series. But still, support didn't end in 2012, AFAIK they haven't officially announced they have dropped support for the Geforce 6 series, and they have released new drivers in 2013 for these card.
None the less, the original question has been answered, when they say Geforce 6 series, they mean Geforce 6000. The GTX600 series is called the Geforce 600 series, so his GTX560 still has many years of support ahead.
THE List of supported GPUs for 326.01 is here. I don't see GF 6 and GF 7 here.
Yes, I know it was. But as noted above, it's not what You think it is. The last driver to support GF 6 & 7 is 307.74

And OH SNAP that is still 304 driver series.
P.S.: Edit: OH DANG finished writing this a bit after You edited Your post. Sorry. =]
But anyway, I admitted I was wrong(or rather BTA was wrong and I was wrong for repeating him), and the question has been answered, so we can move on.
And sorry man. My tone was way too harsh, I admit that. I am really sorry.
I'm still on edge after yesterday when I was answering a countless stream of silly questions from various lusers. (or more like, pointing out how their questions itself were wrong.)
Mouse freezing and black screen , apparently i experience it but not anymore since i downgraded the driver
