Had to Reinstall Windows -- Daz Now Won't Render with GPU

Help!

I am fairly new to Daz and my power went out during a windows update and forced me to re-install Windows.  Once I re-installed Windows and Daz I still had my content library, however, my renders all seem to coming from my CPU now.  When I uncheck CPU in Render Hardware settings and leave just GeForce RTX 5080 checked and try to render a scene it just instantly completes a blank scene.  I already updated my drivers, not sure what to do?

    Ths is Daz Studio 2026? DS 4 cannot use 50x0 cards.

    What nVidia driver version are you using?

    oh wow! I think I was previously rendering off my CPU?  Renders woudl take like 2hrs, but I felt like they came out nice?

    How do I download the Daz Studio 2026?  And do all my assets transfer over?

    I am using 32.0.15.9579 Driver version

    If you have that version checked in the Download Filters in DIM (button at top-left of the ready To Download tab) then it should be there.

    Plug-ins, other than the Daz ones, are not compatible and have not been updated with new versions for DS 2025 - that will, at least, require the SDK to be released. Some scripts work, some don't. Content should be fine as long as you have the same content directories selected, though as with the current version of DS 4 3Delight is not available (but materials will still convert to Iray as before).

    I have Daz Studio 2025 (6.x) checked but nothing seems to show up

    Do you also have Beta builds checked? I don't thiink it is needed, but that may be a false recollection. Also, on the main tab try checking Show Hidden in case you saw it and hid it for some reason.

    Got it!  Didn't have the public releases checked!  Have it installed and renders seems like they are wayyyy better.  However, none of my assets are showing up.  Any idea how to get those to show up?

    DS2026 has separate settings from DS4, so you might need to set the content library paths in DS preferences ( Edit>Preferences>Content tab, click Content Directory Manager)

    I tried this and it is not showing up.  I set it to main folder like DS4 and nothing appears!

    Try to show what you content libraries look like, with Daz Studio and Poser formats expanded.

    First screenshot is Daz2024 which I was using previously and has all my assets.  Second Screenshot is the new Daz2026 where randomly a few assets show up but nothing seems to be appearing

    Edit -> Preferences -> Content; click on Content Directory Manager. Click on the triangles to expand the lists on both Studio versions. Post the results.
