1% GPU usage? What is going on with DAZ Studio?

I'm rendering a basic scene with genesis 8 and a hair model.

I have a GTX 980 that has 4gb of video card memory.  I have 16gb of system memory on an i7-2600k CPU.

Why is only 1% of the GPU being used?

    I used HWinFO64 and it's showing the video card is working at 95%, but Task manager won't show the GPU load? [Huh]?

    Telling task Manager to report on the Compute engine may help, but Windows doess eem prone to giving less than helpful reports in this situation.

    Note that in HWInfo64, down under "GPU Computing (Compute_0) Usage" it's showing 97%. Choose in Task Manager "compute_0" instead of "3D" and it should show you correct usage numbers. 

    Stuff is only helpful if you use it correctly. laugh
