Microsoft's announcement: "We are introducing a new Game Pass recommendation card on the Settings homepage. The Game Pass recommendation card on Settings Homepage will be shown to you if you actively play games on your PC. As a reminder – the Settings homepage will be shown only on the Home and Pro editions of Windows 11 and if you’re signed into Windows with your Microsoft account."

I actually feel bad for people on windows 11. People, please just switch to Linux already. There just isn't any real reason to stay on it anymore, and if you do you've got some ridiculous bullshit niche setup that 0.1% of people use. And for people on Nvidia just grab that Nvidia pop_os ISO for that idiot proof setup, seriously, there are no more excuses and it's really not any more difficult to use than Windows. Don't listen to people saying you have to open a terminal to do anything either, that's a straight up fucking lie, and if you really have to, then copy/paste is all you need to know.

If you have to use rtx and dlss to justify your overpriced graphics card, then there's AMD fsr that can be forced on damn near any game you want, it's not as good but it gets the job done, as for Ray tracing, come on...be real with yourself for 5 minutes, what game other than control has use Ray tracing in any meaningful way other than to look pretty?

Windows is just not worth the hassle anymore, wake the fuck up people.

DLSS is AI-based and FSR is not, right? I always wanted to know how is FSR not inferior when Nvidia is the leading AI chip company, so shouldn't that give them the edge?

Where did I say dlss is inferior? I've used them both, dlss is better quality yeah, fsr has better frame generation with less latency. Fsr isn't as good, it gets the job done though and is available on literally everything unlike Nvidia. If you have Nvidia use dlss, if not use fsr, if you hate yourself then use XeSS.

Nowhere did I imply that you said that. Thanks for the information though, that's what I wanted to know.
