7 years ago, we created the GeForce Game Ready Driver Program, with the goal of giving GeForce gamers the best possible experience in their favorite games. Game Ready Drivers are finely tuned in collaboration with developers and extensively tested across thousands of hardware configurations for maximum performance and reliability.
Since the program’s inception in 2014, NVIDIA has launched over 150 Game Ready Drivers, with Day-0 support for over 400 games; in 2021 alone, there were 20 Game Ready Drivers with support for 75 titles. And beyond the games we list support for in our driver articles and release highlights, we have teams dedicated to Unreal Engine, Unity, and other leading development engines. This ensures the thousands of PC indie games released each year, built exclusively with the tools and features provided by said engines, run fantastically at launch.
This process involves hundreds of developers and engineers, working in tandem, and requires thousands of hours of testing each day. For the first time, we’re lifting the lid on the efforts we undertake to bring you the best drivers month after month, year after year.
