![<h2>The best modern PC games</h2>
<h3>(August 2020 update)</h3>
<p>With 2020 more than halfway through, and lots of amazing PC releases over the last few years, we thought it was high time to revisit our selection of the best PC games you can play right now.</p>
<p>To be clear, this list does not attempt to select the “best” or “most influential” PC games of all time, as comparing the gameplay of the original DOOM to its 2016 reboot is not exactly fair. Nor is it a list of the most popular games out there, or the best games in any genre. No, this is a list of games from the last decade that we at IGN – after lots of internal debate – collectively recommend the most, based on our own tastes. Think of it as our staff’s personal recommendations for you for games we think you should play if you have not. To that end, this is our choice for the best modern PC games.</p>
<p>Tell us that <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/best-pc-games#comments-section">in the comments</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/IGN">on Twitter</a>what did your list that did not come to ours! “src =” https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2020/08/20/topmodernpcgames-slideshow-1597948371613.jpg?width=888&crop=16%3A9&quality= 20 & dpr = 0.05 “class =” jsx-2920405963 progressive-image image jsx-294430442 rounded expand loading “/></div>

From the blog post:
Only when all this work is completed will we start the driver via GeForce.com and GeForce Experience. And because the Game Ready Driver Program and our promise of quality depend on all this work, we do not release subpar beta drivers with minimal testing, let alone multiple conflicting beta drivers from different branches of development that support different games and products that confuse customers .
Of course, smart PC gamers already know that despite Nvidia’s in-depth testing and verification process, the company still handles occasional driver issues. Sometimes Nvidia needs to release an updated driver to resolve issues caused by the original driver.
Despite the jab at AMD, the video itself is well made and does a good job of overseeing the process of creating drivers from start to finish. The Game Ready program was launched in 2014 as a way to optimize drivers by interacting directly with game development teams.
Nvidia also boasted that each Game Ready driver was Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) certified. That said, WHQL certification is certainly appreciated, but focuses more on Windows functionality rather than specific games.
Finally, releasing “beta” drivers is not necessarily a bad thing. By definition, a beta version is a trial version of any third-party software or product during the final stages of development. It allows people outside the development to put new eyes on the product and can lead to finding bugs that were otherwise undetected by the development team.
Of course, as a video on drivers, Nvidia has also released its latest 512.59 Game Ready drivers, which include optimizations for Dune: Spice Wars. It also includes ray tracing support for the Chernobylite survival game and adds DLSS support for JX3 Online and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt.
