Optix Not Working

I understand that the non RTX GPU has also been changed to use OptiX in this 2.9 update.

However, my GPU (GTX 1060) outputs a message when OptiX is selected that it will be rendered as a CPU and actually the rendering speed is slower than Cuda and the same as CPU. I rebooted the PC, but the result was still the same.

Am I misunderstanding this update?

Try driver update

Are you using latest drivers?

Anyway, you not gonna get any rendering gains when using optix on 1060: Tested: Optix for GTX - The Good and the Bad

Optix viewport denoising however is very good and works well on 1060.
