    Y'know there are other ways to render fast and make great images at the same time, without expensive hardware. Hollywood does it in virtually every film you've ever seen. Render individual elements separately (and fastly, using little VRAM ) then merge them together and modify each element (super fast blurs, adjust colors and lighting in realtime, etc) using a free post production software. Lots of fun, and gives great, realtime control without constantly re-rendering to tweak your render.

    It's possible that the newer driver has either somehow disabled the cuda support on your card, or hasn't installed properly.  I'd try downloading an older nvidia driver, uninstall the current driver and then install the older one.  I'm currently on 397.64.  When I recently updated Windows 10 to the 1803 version, I found that dforce in DS stopped working.  Installing a different nvidia driver did the trick. It's possible that the newer driver has somehow disabled the cuda support on your card, or hasn't installed properly.

    You can find older drivers for your card and OS from this page:

    Whenever I think I have a driver problem, I do what they always recommend in the NVIDIA forum. Remove all traces of the old driver using "Display Driver Uninstaller" (DDU) before you install a new driver. Its free, its a pain to use, but it seems to work.

    I would advise against buying a GPU now unless its absolutley needed, since it seems we may see a new line of Nvidia cards sometime soon ( I heard somewhere that may announce them around september or october).

    I'd love to wait, believe me.  Buying a new card now and then having to buy a newer used car in September is a budget buster.  Need the car cuz mine won't pass inspection this year.  Need the card since I'm a beta tester for 2 stores and several vendors.  I need Iray every day. I have CPU, but when you're trying to crank out tests, (especially rendering a 63 frame seamtest animation) I need GPU.  angrycrying <-- angry and wanna cry. 

    Everybody's 700 cards seem to be dying dont they? wink

    An 11GB card would be awsome! I so wanted one but I couldnt justify the expense.crying

    OMG, please don't tell me my card is dying!!!!!!!!! surprise   I guess I can justify it (in my own head) because beta testing is like a job.  I sit at a desk for about 8 hr a day.  Sometimes I'm here late at night or aftermidnight rushing doing render(s) to check something and send it to the vendor.  So yeah, I do need it.  That's why earlier I said I might as well go all in and not stop at 8GB at this point.  I'm not a gamer, so I don't need anything over that, but it sure as hell would help me with testing Iray in a timely manner.
