Nvidia Driver 451.67 now available, Adds Optimal Support for Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition and F1 2020

Nvidia has just released a new driver, 451.67, including a new GeForce Experience version. This driver adds support for three new G-Sync Compatible Displays while also fixes bugs for Death Stranding. Additionally, it brings optimal support for Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition, and Codemasters’ new formula racing F1 2020.

The support of hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling, which was added in the previous driver, has caused some problems. Furthermore, Nvidia’s latest driver also fixes known bugs in other games such as Shadow of the Tomb Raider (causing the game to crash if launched with hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling on).

Other games are also received crash-related fixes, such as Detroit: Become Human, which had experienced random crashes. At last, Nvidia noted that this update may be a reason for more issues, and has encouraged everyone to report negative feedback on this Reddit thread.
