NVIDIA claims Game Ready drivers have advantages

NVIDIA recently released a video and an article explaining the Game Ready driver development process and certification process. Since the Game Ready driver, NVIDIA has released 150 versions of the driver supporting over 400 games. Product Manager – Game Ready Drivers Sr. Sean Pelletier says that in 2021 alone, Nvidia has released 20 drivers that support 75 games.

The focus of the video is on testing and validation, with NVIDIA conducting 1,000 tests a day and spending 1.8 million test hours in 2021. NVIDIA has a large collection of desktop and mobile systems that perform automated testing with over 4,500 GPU, CPU, RAM, and OS configurations.

Only once all this work is completed do we launch the driver via GeForce.com and GeForce Experience. And because the Game Ready Driver Program and our promise of quality relies on all of this work, we don’t release sub-par beta drivers with minimal testing, let alone multiple conflicting beta drivers forked from different development branches that support different games and products, which confuse customers.

AMD is really slow to release WHQL drivers, the company releases frequent beta drivers, and it usually takes several months from beta to WHQL.
