NVIDIA has rolled out a new Quadro graphics driver compatible with several of its GPU models, namely version 451.77, which adds support for CUDA 11.0, Windows 10 Version 2004 (May 2020 Update), and several RTX-Powered Creative App Updates.

Specifically speaking, this release includes out-of-core geometry support for working with large scenes (V-Ray 5 GPU), a big increase in GPU-accelerated brush engines (Corel Painter 2021), AI to the Image to Material feature (Substance Alchemist), AI to denoiser (Blender Cycles), and hardware encoding using NVIDIA Encoder (Premiere Pro).

Besides these changes, build 451.77 also adds compatibility with DirectX 12 Ultimate that includes DirectX Raytracing 1.1, Variable Rate Shading, Mesh Shaders, and Sampler Feedback support, and implements other improvements as highlighted in the Release Notes below.

In terms of compatibility, the producer has provided two downloadable packages targeted at the 64-bit variant of Microsoft Windows 10 operating systems, both desktop or notebook configurations.

With this in mind, if you intend to apply this package, save the proper one for your device, run it, wait as the wizard extracts all files required for the installation, and follow all instructions displayed for a complete upgrade.

Last but not least, once completed, it would be a good idea to perform a system reboot to allow all changes to take effect properly. If this task is not requested automatically by the wizard, make sure to carry it out manually to avoid any unwanted problems.

In other words, download NVIDIA Quadro Graphics Driver 451.77, apply it to your system and enjoy the changes this new version brings about. Also, check our website frequently to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
