So, what is the best way to uninstall the Beta? (I have 4.10 installed, as well, but will leave that) Do I just delete the directory, or do I run an uninstaller?
Well, to wrap up this issue, I used DDU to remove all of my Nvidia graphics drivers and started with a clean install of 416.34 (which worked last week), but still the Post Denoiser crashes the GPU and switches to CPU. Seems odd that it was working just a week ago, and now I can't get it working at all. It's a shame, as I have grown to rely on it for faster renders. :( Hope they get it resolved, and it does not signal a death bell for the Maxwell architecture GPU's in the next release.
If anyone is running a 960m on a laptop, and has the Post Denoiser in the public Beta working, I would love to know which driver you are using! I am trying one last attempt with a Clean install of 417.71, which everyone said helped them about 3 pages back.
Edit - Failed still, I give up...ugh, I need a new hobby
@DoctorJellybean: That was the fastest response I have ever got :)
I've been checking changelog lots of time in a day and I can easily tell that another beta would drop like a rock right now.
You guys have been fixing soooo many things since the previous beta. I've been constantly noticing ever-increasing Dforce version also, which creates an impression either stability or performance (maybe both) will be increased in the next beta.
My Beta is suddenly taking an extremely long time to load and save even simple scenes. We're talking 3 - 5 minutes for even simple scenes, so much so that my PC registers the program as "Not Responding." 4.10 isn't having the same issue.
The log file isn't particularly helpful. Is it choking on morphs?
There's lots of this:

It was working perfectly last week and I don't believe I changed anything...
Hm. It's also having the same issue when I attempt to load a figure into a scene.
I might try to reinstall!
Well the re-install appears to have fixed things, although I'm still receiving a few errors on the morphs. I suspect it's because I don't own those particular figures.
That doesn't appear to match up with the change log, which makes no mention of requiring RTX hardware and is about the Renderman (which we are assumig means 3Delight natively) pipeline.

Yes, if a character or morph set has corrections for things you don't have then it won't be able to resolve the links - but that doesn't matter since, by definition, you don't have the shape the correction is needed for.
As a note, I have found that anything 418 or later drivers with a GTX 960M fails to render anything at all in DS 4.10 (or later). The later drivers work great for gaming, but DS iray rendering is dead. 417.71 is as far as I can get. Here are the logs failure, fyi (this is not related to the denoiser, as I have moved on to the Intel Open Image Denoiser as postwork instead):

I have a 2070 and have experienced some Daz crashes using the denoiser (recently) with 4.11 beta. I have 419.17 drivers. I'm willing to believe NVIDIA are still ironing the bugs out of RTX generation and that this isn't a Daz issue. At least one occassion my display drivers crashed (Windows reloaded them, as it does). Turning off the denoiser fixes the issue. Note this isn't every time. Just sometimes.
By being invited to participate. Making good quality bug reports (to the Techinical Help department https://www.daz3d.com/help/help-contact-us ) might earn you interest, though I have no idea what the actual criteria are.
Hm. Somebody mentioned a few pages back about an error which forced you to restart the Beta in order to re-run the simulation.
That is currently still happening, it seems. This is the first time it has come up for me, but it's quite irritating.
Basically, once I run the similation, I can't "CLEAR SIMULATION DATA" without the program then not recognizing any dforce objects in the scene......
If there's an error in dForce it is often, in my experience, necessary to restart DS - to the point that I do it automatically (though it hasn't happened for a while). Still, that particular combination is new to me.

What's odd is -- far as I can tell -- there's been no error. It's simply that dforce no longer sees any dforce materials in the scene.
Once I reload the scene (I actually don't need to restart Daz, I discovered), I can run the simulation again. However, if I don't like the results I again need to restart.
@DoctorJellybean: That was the fastest response I have ever got :)
I've been checking changelog lots of time in a day and I can easily tell that another beta would drop like a rock right now.
You guys have been fixing soooo many things since the previous beta. I've been constantly noticing ever-increasing Dforce version also, which creates an impression either stability or performance (maybe both) will be increased in the next beta.
Daz changelog for life!
This is effincouraging to say the least! This has dissipated my fears/bolstered my confidence with the Daz Devs; I now look forward to the next versions coming out soon, thanks DAZ!
EDITED TO ADD:The one thing about Daz's beta increased stability is that they often make the general releases nearly obsolete in comparison ironically enough!
Just installed the latest Nvidia driver, and the latest Beta. It was recommended that I do so to try out the denoiser. I had been running the latest 4.10 version. With the denoiser tabs on, the rendering time is markedly reduced, and I don't see any degradation of the render. With the Sickleyield benchmark, my time is about 1 minute using 4.10 and 48 seconds using Beta. More impressive is the time savings on actual scenes. I rendered the same complex scene with both. 4.10 timed at 21 minutes, the Beta at 7! I don't know what you guys did, but keep doing it!
1 issue: I use the batch rendering product. It was designed for 3delight, but works just fine with Iray. There is an issue in the Beta in that it does not completely clear the VRAM cache after a render. Usually 1-2 gig of memory does not clear. It isn't additive. In other words, during batch rendering the usage climbs, and in between renders the usage always goes down to around the same amount. With 4.10, the cache completely clears with each render down to 0. So if you guys can fix that issue, from my standpoint, this is a perfect update.

Unfortunately, I've noticed this issue as well -- but not until I left 3 scenes rendering overnight, only to wakeup and see I'd been switched to CPU. :-|
A friend of mine is having a weird issue with 4.11 beta where his 4 x 1080ti's rendering in Iray and stop rendering and it goes to CPU
I have found that having Optix Prime acceleration on can cause Iray to fall back to CPU rendering especially when using more than one GPU. Sometimes it's also good to uncheck the CPU in advanced setting too
Comments
So, what is the best way to uninstall the Beta? (I have 4.10 installed, as well, but will leave that) Do I just delete the directory, or do I run an uninstaller?
EDIT - Nevermind found it in DIM
Well, to wrap up this issue, I used DDU to remove all of my Nvidia graphics drivers and started with a clean install of 416.34 (which worked last week), but still the Post Denoiser crashes the GPU and switches to CPU. Seems odd that it was working just a week ago, and now I can't get it working at all. It's a shame, as I have grown to rely on it for faster renders. :( Hope they get it resolved, and it does not signal a death bell for the Maxwell architecture GPU's in the next release.
If anyone is running a 960m on a laptop, and has the Post Denoiser in the public Beta working, I would love to know which driver you are using! I am trying one last attempt with a Clean install of 417.71, which everyone said helped them about 3 pages back.
Edit - Failed still, I give up...ugh, I need a new hobby
For the record I tried:
What would be nice is a new Public Beta. :)
@3doutlaw
you should use the custom install option from nvidia driver and there you will find the option to perform a clean install.
ddu ppu ffu and other "smart" toys may break registry data and not only.
I'd suggest you uninstall from device manager all your video cards drivers and then perform a clean - from custom install option - install to 419.67
don't forget to update as well your OS.
as our friends suggested, after all drivers are installed, check again in rendering options your nvidia cards are checked to render scenes.
I assume I should not mention your nvidia control panel, power option must be maximum performance if your rig is a desktop.
I hope it helps with your problem.
Hi Marius_if, thanks for the tips!

DAZ Studio : Incremented build number to 4.11.0.319
Am I seeing things or Daz has always been using the Pixar's rendering engine? O_o
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RenderMan
RenderMan Shading Language, a component of the RenderMan Interface Specification used to define shaders
@DoctorJellybean: That was the fastest response I have ever got :)
I've been checking changelog lots of time in a day and I can easily tell that another beta would drop like a rock right now.
You guys have been fixing soooo many things since the previous beta. I've been constantly noticing ever-increasing Dforce version also, which creates an impression either stability or performance (maybe both) will be increased in the next beta.
Daz changelog for life!
My Beta is suddenly taking an extremely long time to load and save even simple scenes. We're talking 3 - 5 minutes for even simple scenes, so much so that my PC registers the program as "Not Responding." 4.10 isn't having the same issue.
The log file isn't particularly helpful. Is it choking on morphs?
There's lots of this:

It was working perfectly last week and I don't believe I changed anything...
Hm. It's also having the same issue when I attempt to load a figure into a scene.
I might try to reinstall!
Nvidia did make mention that they were adding Universal Scene Description (USD) from Pixar into RTX
https://developer.nvidia.com/rtx
Well the re-install appears to have fixed things, although I'm still receiving a few errors on the morphs. I suspect it's because I don't own those particular figures.
That doesn't appear to match up with the change log, which makes no mention of requiring RTX hardware and is about the Renderman (which we are assumig means 3Delight natively) pipeline.
Yes, if a character or morph set has corrections for things you don't have then it won't be able to resolve the links - but that doesn't matter since, by definition, you don't have the shape the correction is needed for.
As a note, I have found that anything 418 or later drivers with a GTX 960M fails to render anything at all in DS 4.10 (or later). The later drivers work great for gaming, but DS iray rendering is dead. 417.71 is as far as I can get. Here are the logs failure, fyi (this is not related to the denoiser, as I have moved on to the Intel Open Image Denoiser as postwork instead):
This is just an FYI, as I rolled back to 417 and am fine, so will not submit a tech support ticket.
What is your operating system version?
Windows 10
The specs I found say it's a Maxwell chip, and nVidia certainly seems to think it's supported by the new drivers.
how to access to private beta of daz ?
I have a 2070 and have experienced some Daz crashes using the denoiser (recently) with 4.11 beta. I have 419.17 drivers. I'm willing to believe NVIDIA are still ironing the bugs out of RTX generation and that this isn't a Daz issue. At least one occassion my display drivers crashed (Windows reloaded them, as it does). Turning off the denoiser fixes the issue. Note this isn't every time. Just sometimes.
Edit: I was rendering at 4k.
Probably not available to those outside of DAZ3D or those that sell here.
By being invited to participate. Making good quality bug reports (to the Techinical Help department https://www.daz3d.com/help/help-contact-us ) might earn you interest, though I have no idea what the actual criteria are.
Hm. Somebody mentioned a few pages back about an error which forced you to restart the Beta in order to re-run the simulation.
That is currently still happening, it seems. This is the first time it has come up for me, but it's quite irritating.
Basically, once I run the similation, I can't "CLEAR SIMULATION DATA" without the program then not recognizing any dforce objects in the scene......
If there's an error in dForce it is often, in my experience, necessary to restart DS - to the point that I do it automatically (though it hasn't happened for a while). Still, that particular combination is new to me.
What's odd is -- far as I can tell -- there's been no error. It's simply that dforce no longer sees any dforce materials in the scene.
Once I reload the scene (I actually don't need to restart Daz, I discovered), I can run the simulation again. However, if I don't like the results I again need to restart.
This is effincouraging to say the least! This has dissipated my fears/bolstered my confidence with the Daz Devs; I now look forward to the next versions coming out soon, thanks DAZ!
