New DAZ update causes black screen when rendering

I installed the new DAZ update and now all I get when rendering is a black image.

I've tried a new file, added a light, changed the HDRI, but I still get a black screen. Does anybody know why that would be?  I am using a GTX970 graphics card on an X99 chipset which ran the last version of DAZ well.

    Update your nvidia drivers.

    Also, I found out that it will render okay when the CPU is selected. When I unselect the CPU it only renders black (which is what I had before since it slows down my rendering times).

    yes it apparently needs the latest driver for your card

    It needs a 37x driver version...

    Yup, it was the driver. I updated it and it renders now. Only thing was I liked the last driver because the contrast was better, black is greyish now and the text isn't as crisp, but I guess I should tell NVIDIA that..

    Thanks for the responses.

    You may have to redo your video settings to get them back.
