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?

    $\begingroup$ The GTX 1060 should be supported (see release notes). My guess would be that you're using an older graphics driver. Try to update it and check if detects the GPU as OptiX device. The driver can be downloaded from Nvidia's website. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Yes, it was a driver problem. I installed the latest driver and now OptiX is working. It was faster than CUDA in rendering, but it was a very small time difference. And for viewport denoising, it was much faster than Intel AI denoising. Very good. $\endgroup$

The Nvidia GTX 1060 is supported for rendering with OptiX (see release notes), but it requires a current graphics driver. Updating it should allow you to select the GPU as OptiX render device for Cycles. The current drivers can be downloaded from Nvidia's website.
