Solaris 10 is the last release of Solaris planned to support those cards.

Because like every other computer company in the world, including Sun for
the past 25 years, hardware is not supported forever and at some point you
must choose between hardware upgrade or software upgrade? Those cards
from Sun will have OS support a lot longer than most of their contemporary
video cards, and even a lot longer than some of Sun's older graphics drivers.
I doubt you'll find any vendor who'll promise the video card you buy today
will be supported in new OS versions coming out ten years from now.
