NVIDIA has just released its new GeForce Game Ready 451.48 WHQL drivers, with support for the new DirectX 12 Ultimate API that includes DirectX Raytracing (DXR) version 1.1.

The new drivers also provide support for mesh shaders, sampler feedback, variable rate shading (VRS) and hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling that pops through with the new Windows 10 May 2020 update.

There's also support for 9 more G-SYNC compatible displays, and included in that list are Samsung's new 2020 Odyssey series monitors in the Odyssey G7 (both the 27-inch and 32-inch models) that offer 1440p at a huge 240Hz as well as the gigantic Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor which rocks an insane 5120 x 1440 at 240Hz.
