Progress of Iray with Daz

Iray is now faster. Only few iterations with post Denoise can generate quality render. Is there still any reason to not prefer Iray? Currently my only problem is large scene cannot handle my pc due to lack of enough memory of the pc.

    My another problem is hdri background not visible in viewport and realtime Iray viewport is not feasible for most of the cards and thus it lead to frustrating experience.

    Realtime Iray viewport works just fine with my "old" GTX1080. Is it possible you're rig is rendering CPU Only? That will happen if your video card isn't an Nvidia card, or new enough to have both the memory and cuda cores necessary to support Iray. It's also possible to have an Iray-capable Nvidia card but not be using it because it hasn't been selected in the Render Settings, Advance tab. (I'm assuming, if you're using either 4.11 or the 4.12 beta, you've updated your drivers.)

    Regardless, there is a free tool to help you see the environment without turning Draw Dome on in the Render Settings > Environment: Light Probe Tool. It really came in handy back when CPU Only was all I had for rendering.
