NVIDIA may be the dominant force in the graphics card market, but that doesn’t mean the company hasn’t faced its share of criticism for anti-competitive and anti-consumer practices. One of the most prominent arguments concerns NVIDIA’s support for older architectures or lack thereof.
There are many exciting updates this month for Xbox. Copilot for Gaming is available now for early preview on mobile and will be coming to PC soon. Xbox PC app introduces a wave of new updates: Aggregated gaming library gives players quick access to games from Xbox, Game Pass, and other leading PC storefronts, and with publisher channels players can browse their favorite franchises. Updates for the Xbox Console includes customization for Most Recently Used, free-to-play benefits, Game Hubs, and dialog improvements for game saves.
"Players can now hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to feedback."
This is welcomed, i like a less cluttered home screen.
The three most beautiful sights in this world are: 1) your spouse on your wedding day 2) the birth of your first child 3) a walkthrough for Ecco the Dolphin in some long forgotten scrawl.
"Nintendo Switch 2 is a safe and solid follow-up in many respects but it has its issues, including the Virtual Game Card system and an aging UI."

Not sure what games you're playing to average 5 to 6 hours battery. Mariokart World and Zelda gets 2 and a half hours max.
Yea don’t think id get 6 hours in sleep mode!
I think there’s a lot of internal software issues with the battery management.
Sleep mode kills the battery almost as quick as playing games does. Playing switch 1 games seems to kill the battery faster than playing switch 2 games for the most part. Even playing a very, very basic switch 1 game seems to drain the battery much faster than I would expect it to.
I fully believe they do
No, I'm not a Nvidia fan but it's incredibly easy to do a benchmark with newer vs older drivers as they did in this article.
It's become quite popular to bash Nvidia these days and I honestly have no problem with it. I would really prefer if AMD was competitive with Nvidia like they are with Intel vs Zen.
But that said it's way to easy to benchmark test these cards to be able to pull this off. And there might even be legal grounds against them if they tried it. So there is little benefit for Nvidia, people are going to buy new cards regardless.
No. The first driver after the 20-series cards came out seemed to, but that was quickly rectified with another driver update. Performance of the 10-series was then back to within margin of error of 2 driver versions back.
