DAZ Studio IRay Advanced Render Settings Issues (GPU)

Running my new laptop HP Pavillion which has a GE Force 940MX Card (2G memory). 12 meg memory. Rendering a simple scene the scene with GPU+CPU+Optix. Test renders were running lightning fast with first image displaying after 1 minute 5 seconds. Impressive. Then the renders just suddenly froze up. It gets stuck on the step "Geometry Memory Consumption" and then just stays there. After many attempts of restarting Daz. Resaving the file. To no avail....then I discovered if I deleted the character from my scene, and then did Edit > Undo...I would be able to render the scene again. It sounds like something maybe stuck in the GPU Memory that doesn't get cleared from a prior render. Deleting the character and undoing the delete seems to be a workaround that help. Perhaps someone at Daz can identify the cause of the problem?

It probably has to do with having a 2GB video card. (I've got a 4GB GPU in my laptop, and often end up rendering in CPU mode because the scene won't fit in the GPU RAM).
Also, try disabling Optix. It does speed up renders, but for some reason it also consumes more memory...
And make sure instancing is set to "Memory" not to speed
Speed will make renders happen faster at the cost of more memory usage.
