Got a new RTX 2060 and judging from NVIDIA's website it comes with DX12 Ultimate. But I searched dxdiag in the start menu and the DirectX version only says DirectX 12. How do I know if my new card has the Ultimate version?

Looks like RTX cards and upcoming RDNA 2 are fully supporting dx12 ultimate.

So RTX 2060 has it covered.

"You can expect games to bear the DX12 Ultimate badge as well. Not to worry, though, Microsoft says they will still run on regular DX12 hardware, you'll just potentially miss out on some features."

Edit:
Rumors say that amd's next gen have it all only on the flagship models.
