• Added support for Vulkan direct-to-display on DisplayPort displays which are connected via DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport (DP-MST).
• Added a new documentation file, supported-gpus.json, which exposes a machine-readable list of supported GPUs and features.
• Added an implementation of glNamedBufferPageCommitmentARB, which was missing from the NVIDIA driver's support for the GL_ARB_sparse_buffer extension.
• Fixed a bug that could cause a KDE Plasma session to crash when running under Wayland.
• Fixed a bug that could cause some Swap Group configurations to present at half of the display refresh rate.
• Added a new Connector-N display connector name alias type, with a unique alias assigned to each physical display connector on a GPU. See the README for more information.
• Fixed a bug that prevented X11 EGL displays from being reinitialized.
• The 450 driver series is the last that supports NvFBC's NVFBC_CAPTURE_TO_HW_ENCODER capture interface, which has been deprecated since NVIDIA Capture SDK 6.0 released in 2017. Future NVIDIA drivers after the 450 series will return NVFBC_ERR_UNSUPPORTED if that capture interface is requested.
  The recommended way to encode captured frames with NVENC is by using the NVIDIA Video Codec SDK.
  See: https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk
• Fixed a bug causing the Plasma desktop panel to freeze when compositing is disabled (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353983)
• Extended the dynamic runtime power management support in the NVIDIA driver to shut off power to video memory under certain conditions. See the chapter titled "PCI-Express Runtime D3 (RTD3) Power Management" in the README for more information.
• Added HEVC 10/12 bit "decode only" support to the NVIDIA VDPAU driver. Note that VDPAU's presentation pipeline and OpenGL-VDPAU interop does not support 10- and 12-bit video surfaces yet. See the "VDPAU Support" appendix in the README for supported HEVC decoder profiles.
• Added support for Image Sharpening for OpenGL and Vulkan applications
• Added new VdpYCbCrFormats VDP_YCBCR_FORMAT_Y_U_V_444_16, VDP_YCBCR_FORMAT_P010 and VDP_YCBCR_FORMAT_P016 for accessing 16-bit surfaces via VdpVideoSurfaceGetBitsYCbCr() and VdpVideoSurfacePutBitsYCbCr() in the NVIDIA VDPAU driver.
• Added support to create 16-bit video surfaces in the NVIDIA VDPAU driver.
• Enabled GPU screens by default on X.Org xserver version 1.20.7 and higher.
• Fixed a bug where rendering in a separate user namespace (unshare -U) would show black window and produce Xid 13 errors.
• Removed support for "IgnoreDisplayDevices" X configuration option.

Installation instructions: Once you have downloaded the driver, change to the directory containing the driver package and install the driver by running, as root, sh ./NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-450.51.run

Then, edit your X configuration file so that the NVIDIA X driver will be used; this can normally be done by running nvidia-xconfig

Note that the list of supported GPU products is provided to indicate which GPUs are supported by a particular driver version. Some designs incorporating supported GPUs may not be compatible with the NVIDIA Linux driver: in particular, notebook and all-in-one desktop designs with switchable (hybrid) or Optimus graphics will not work if means to disable the integrated graphics in hardware are not available. Hardware designs will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so please consult with a system's manufacturer to determine whether that particular system is compatible.

See the README for more detailed instructions.
