Can GTX 1060 6GB Run Enhanced Edition with DXR?

[TITLEplayer]

Has anyone tested running the enhanced edition when they have GTX 1060 6GB gpu? I've read that it's possible to run RTX games now with GTX 1060 6GB version as long as DXR is supported. How would one enable DXR? By just downloading the latest driver or is there something I must toggle on?

Where specifically did you read that?

No, it requires a DXR 1.1 capable card, meaning hardware acceleration.

This mean RTX cards and Radeon 6000 only.

I read this article:

Was hoping it's true. So it really is not possible?

That said, it's still probably better off to run just the regular Exodus instead of the enhanced for a 1060. I have a 1070 and will be running the regular version, I don't care about the ray tracing.

According to the developers you need at least a 2060 to run enhanced edition so yeah, I would reccomend sticking with the the regular version.

Wait, are you able to run it with the 1070? I just want to be able to run it once and lower all the settings and set RTX to off if possible.

No, you CANNOT disable RTX in the Enhanced Edition since it is the whole point of that version, which means you CANNOT launch the game if your GPU doesn't support DXR 1.1. Just because you can enable RTX in the original game with your GTX 10XX GPU doesn't mean you will be able to play the Enhanced Edition.

Stick with the original game. It still holds up well in 2021 even without RTX.

I just want to play the game with full Dualsense support. That's why I wanted to play this version than the original.

Unfortunately, only the Enhanced Edition has DualSense support, so until you get a GPU that supports RTX you're out of luck.

I installed the normal version, not a fan though so I got as refund. Can't test it out for you, sorry.

What do you not understand about DXR 1.1 capable card required?

You can play the normal version instead, not EE.
