I am having issues with rendering on my graphics card. I currently have a quadro m4000 running the newest version of driver. Whenever I try and render it dumps to my cpu.

Make sure that you are running the the most recent drivers downloaded directly from nvidia's website. (Widows update version of the driver will not work for Iray)
Make sure that you download and install the ODE (Optimal driver for Enterprise) version.
I have the newest driver 430.64 straigt from their website. I also wound up giving the new 4.11 beta a try and i still havent been able to get it to even hint at rendering in the graphics card.
I did wind up getting this on my log file not too sure on how to fix
2019-05-23 18:58:04.868 WARNING: ..\..\..\..\..\src\pluginsource\DzIrayRender\dzneuraymgr.cpp(302): Iray WARNING - module:category(IRAY:RENDER): 1.10 IRAY rend warn : RTKernel: please check the input geometry (degenerated/inefficient RT hierarchy)
have you tried rendering a very basic scene? Like a colored primitive? I want to make sure it happens all the time. Other than that I'm stumped you shouldn't be getting RT errors.
I’ve had similar issue with my quadro. What version of Daz Studio are you using? I found out that 4.11 Beta doesn’t really like our quadros (Iray preview doesn’t work) and rendering just doesn’t start. I am using 4.10 myself and it works absolutely fine. If I were you, I’d reinstall drivers with clean install
So i have both versions of daz3d downloaded and have tried both and i wind up getting the same result throughout both whether it is 4.10 or 4.11. It totally recognizes my card i can see it in the log file

...So I found out what it was just wanted to give an update... I'm an idiot. When I installed the new driver it cleared my permissions for nvidia control panel for Daz. Re-permissioned it and it is working fine. Thank you guys for at least giving me a couple ideas on what it might have been.
Thanks again

Thank you for reporting back, camraw16. Oftentimes people forget to do so, leaving those who tried to help hanging, not knowing what happened. Glad that you got your problem sorted.
