Hello,

Running PE21. I can not select hardware acceleration using the GTX 1060 6GB of my system. The option stays greyed out. Tried driver versions: 399.24 - 416.94 - 425.31 - 461.40 - 466.27 - and the latest studio driver from nvidia. The option does not unlock. PE21 20210127 223

Go the the nVidia site and ensure you have the latest driver for this card.

 

Downloading the GeForce Experience will ensure that is the case.

Unfortunately the behaviour does not change, even with the latest driver. Adobe listed the card as supported for PE21 under Windows, which is why im wondering why it is not working.

It may be that the newest driver is too new.   If the driver is newer than the Premiere Elements code, it might have a flaw.  Can you use the GeForce Experience to try a driver that is about a year old?  

Another possibiltiy is to use the "other" driver.  On my Nvidia equiped computer there are choices for the 'gamer' and 'creative' drivers.
