NVIDIA - "Game Ready" drivers?

May I invite members to share their view as to what "Game Ready" implies for the NVIDIA drivers? I just came accross this page and really don't understand the need to be specific with the "Game Ready" characterization which is shown at the following page:

I don't think these are available on Linux.

There would be countless parameters that NVIDIA drivers would have (internally) that could be adjusted to suit certain loads - my guess is that that's the main difference between "game ready" vs the ordinary Linux drivers here: Unix Drivers | NVIDIA. Perhaps in some instances they identify certain code paths that could be modified to improve cache hits, minimise stalls, or something else.
