Daz Studio 4.12 Rendering With CPU not GPU

cstrauss42a

I have read through the forums and threads in regard to this issue and none seem to help resolve my situation. I am hoping to get help with this issue here. Also I am no expert on DAZ and still learning so please be patient if my questions seem simple. 

I have updated the latest Nivida drivers according to the Nivida Experience app my driver is 441.41

I have a Nivida 1050 TI on my laptop, and in the Nivida Control Panel, I have set Daz studio to use my GPU only. 

In my render settings I have the check boxes ticked for my GPU only (I have also ticked on and off the Optix Prime Acceleration which made no difference)

When I render anything other than a primitive object with no texture Nivida renders it really fast but I try anything else to render such as a simple figure alone in the scene this is what is my Render message box which appears to be using my CPU not my GPU and renders take fooooooorevvvvvvver

Can some kind person please help me troubleshoot the issue, again i have tried everything else I have found on this forum that relates to the problem and still has the same problem. I did use Daz 4.10 before I upgraded to this version and had no problem. 

If I can not resolve this issue is it possible to revert back to 4.10?

 

Thank You in advance

In general it is better to post to an existing thread rather than starting a new one. The latest Public Build, 4.12.1.40, has an iray update that addresses issues with the 440 drivers - if you aren't, try that and if it still fails post to the beta thread.
