iRay Problem
I can't render or preview a single picture with CPU disabled. I've testet all settings in Studio, it knows exactly my graphic-card (NVIDIA Geforce RTX 5060 ti)
the newest ALPHA version of DazStudio use my GPU like a charm. actual and older versions from DazStudio doesnt use the GPU. even downgrading the NVIDIA driver doesnt change anything. i use the latest driver and latest Studio version. Latest Windows 11 and all up-to-date.
Do i miss a thing?

Moved to Daz Studio Discussion as it is not AI related.
The versions of Iray that support 50x0 cards cannot be integrated into DS 4.x.x.x, so nothing will enable them for you. You can load your DS 4 scenes into DS 2025 if you bake any live depenencies on unsupported plug-ins to basic features (e.g. turn Mesh Grabber modifiers into morphs).
off the wall answer.
Do you multiple pci slots and an older video car sitting around?
If so stick the card in and the older versions of daz should see it and us it.

I use 424 becasue grabber, thickener, etc but I wll render in 2025 so I can keep modeling in 24
Will DS 2025/6 still recognize/use an Nvidia 4000 series GPU or only a 5000 series?
my RTX 3060 12GB seems to be working just fine in the alpha, so I assume the 4000 series will also
I use a Nvidia Geforce RTX 4050 on my laptop and it renders fine in the 2025/6 Alpha.
Currently the pre-RTX generation is deprecated (support will be dropped in a forthcoming update) but all RTX series cards are still fully supported with no threat of being dropped.
@Fishtales and Richard,
Thanks much. I suspect that the answer to my question was already in a thread post somewhere but finding it would have been a nightmare. I asked because I bought a desktop computer in August from Best Buy. It was supposed to have an RTX 4070 card but the manufacturer had begun shipping some of its builds with RTX 50x0 cards without any price change. I was able to send the 5070 card back to the manufacturer who then sent me a 4070 card.
There are any number of ways this could go awry, but from past behaviour I would guess 40x0 cards to be safe until we see 80x0 cards.
