I have two 980TI 6GB cards,do you guys think that will run Optix

Like LuxXeon posted above "Optix requires a GPU with compute capability 5.0 and higher, and a driver version of at least 470, according to the Blender specs. Optix is currently ONLY supported by the RTX cards in Blender. There is speculation it may become available for other Turing-based cards like the GTX 1660 Ti, but currently, Optix requires the RT cores found in the RTX cards to use Optix. The GTX 1660, although it may have the Turing architecture, does not have the RT cores." I have GTX 980Ti also and regretfully Optix is not supported by the card but you can still run Blender 3.0 with the this card
