  "account": "Nvidia GPUs are set to lose their support for Windows 10's Game Ready Driver in just two months, with the final driver arriving in October 2026. This means gamers with Nvidia graphics cards will soon face issues in terms of game performance optimization and fixes. However, they will still receive security updates for the next three years. The end of Game Ready Driver support will result in missing performance optimizations for new games, potentially leading to subpar frame rates. Windows 10 users will only get quarterly security updates after October, until October 2029. Although a reprieve from Nvidia is possible, it seems unlikely as Microsoft extended consumer support for Windows 10 by a year to October 2027.",
