NVIDIA MSI 1060 6GB Gaming X - How to Activate Raytracing / DLSS

[cZ]

Why i cannot activate Raytracing or DLSS in Cyberpunk 2077 ?

[cZ]

1060. NVIDIA update made 1060 RTX ready years ago

[Andrea Honeybee]

only certain games will support the 1060 RTX, This game isnt one of them.

[cZ]

okay if thats true thats not good for me. thanks

[Andrea Honeybee]

i have a 1660 ti GTX, so im in sameish boat, i have raytracing on other games, but not this one for sure.

Even if the game allowed you to use Raytracing you likely wouldn't be able to run it at a bearable framerate.

[Andrea Honeybee]

like the moment i turn the option on i crash, so thats why i said sameish boat

[Andrea Honeybee]

yeah, so that's pretty much all i meant by "not this one for sure" lol

The 1060 was not built with RTX in mind. It can support it but its hardware is not made for it hence it wont work in most cases or it will just make the game run at low fps. Might as well keep graphic options high with RTX off, much better quality. Why even turn on RTX to lose fps is beyond me imo

cause the 1060 is not an rtx capable card.

should be obvious since it has gtx and not rtx in the name.

RTX is not ready. i doubt even nasa use rtx when play games for periods of time. rtx is so overrated i actually get annoyed with people who use it and play games at 30 fps who could be playing way over 60fps for the performance cost it needs to go away and stop making life difficult for games developers who never know if they should include it and waste time and resources doing so. RTX is only good for verrrry old games. for fun. as a gimmick. it is not ready for anything more

[Externalfear]

a 1060 will never be able to run RTX even if it was compatible the fps would drop so low. I do not use it. boycott it in fact! i know the cool kids are saying RTX is cool but between you and me the cool kids are not very smart. The geeks know RTX is a gimmick and we aren't happy to purposely throw a spanner in the works. Turn that spanner into a cog and then we will talk. it is hard enough to fine tune your pc's settings for each and every 3d application.

before someone retorts with my pc can handle it just fine. you need to look at the data. even if you aren't hitching your pc is working too hard for the task it is doing. this can and will shorten the life of a gpu. end of rant. Hope that helps!

how does one "boycott" rtx? are you gonna stay on a gtx card for the rest of your life?

[space]

yeah graphical effects are taxing on graphics cards, who knew?

raytracing options are entirely optional even in games that support it. don't like it, don't use it.

can one say they are boycotting it if it is there but they never use it? That's what i meant. i feel like you knew that already though.

Just because any GPU with the requisite feature level can technically perform ray tracing, doesn't mean it has dedicated hardware acceleration for it, or is supported by a given game specifically. These are the specific hardware tiers for this game's system requirements, including for RT:

The 1060 6GB is listed under 1080p High presets without ray tracing.

That wouldn't exactly be a boycott, per se. It would just be refraining from using it. If I buy an assorted bag of candies but refrain from eating one of the varieties in the package, I haven't boycotted the candy maker.

You can informally use the term in this way if you want, but generally speaking a boycott is a means of social and/or commercial pressure wherein you withhold your financial, social, user base, or other direct support from a company, organization, person, or other entity, with the goal of creating some impetus for them to change their behavior. The goal is to bring about change, not just to declare, "I'm not using this feature."

nVidia doesn't care if you use ray tracing or DLSS on their GPUs or not unless it creates some sort of pressure on them. They only care if people aren't purchasing their products. Since AMD are now incorporating RT hardware acceleration into their GPUs as well, you can't avoid it by going with their competitor either. And with RDNA 2 now being part of the next gen consoles' architecture, it's only going to become more ubiquitous and standard over time.
