    Whenever a company labels a release as 'beta', it is saying: "This is not ready for production use.  You may use it, but do not use it for anything you think is important or needs to be done to a deadline, because there are bugs, some serious enough to block a full release.  You *will* run into them.  Some we know about, some we don't.  We will be grateful if you provide bug reports when you find bugs (free beta testing, thanks!).  They will have lower priority than bugs in the full release, so please don't hold your breath for them to be fixed.  "

    I feel like "beta" doesn't mean the same thing it used to - at least in a practical sense.

    IIRC, 20 series cards came out in September of last year, and as of now there is still no official non-beta release of DS that will utilize them (even minimal basic support - I'm not talking full-featured). I understand that there are multiple pieces to the puzzle and some of them are out of DAZ's control (Iray and its SDK). That being said, as an end-user the bottom line is that 7 months in, I would still have to run the beta if I had a 20 series card. Must admit that I'm kind of glad I saw this coming and haven't spent the money.

    And that is exactly why I don't have swapped to 4.11 or an RTX card yet. I would have wasted a lot of money without any gain besides grey hair and maybe an aneurysm.

    100% agree. I would have shelved my Titan Xp-s and splurged on two 2080 ti-s if they worked with 4.10 (Beta or Pro).

    @ArtAngel "When I joined Daz in Nov/\Dec 2016 it had issue after issue. I was totally aggravated, "

    Yet for me Studio has been stable since I started (version 4.5). Maybe it's not the software.

    I'm confused. AFAIK, the 2080ti's do work in the Beta?

    They do work in 4.11 beta, if you have the right version of the driver.

    Have a RTX2080Ti and am using Nvidia Driver 430.39 with latest Beta 4.11.0.335.  Totally stable and render never drops to CPU.  Very happy.

    Used the same driver version (but actual Nividia file is different for RTXs) and same beta with the GTX1070 and it was fine too.  Until I replaced recently with the new card.

    My OS is Win7 - 64 bit Sp1.  So that is maybe less common.
