iray 980 ti works, 1050 doesn't

in Daz Studio Discussion

drivers all up dated... 1050 shows in iray advanced tab.
---
image will render in iray from cpus
---
two minute render returning black on gpu
----
I'm not certain how the render engine functions for example is the cpu render using the cuda cores at all?
---
if the "engine" stands between Daz and the cpu or gpu.. then It's like it's not sending data in gpu mode. 
----
the engine was sending data and rendering with the 980 gpu yesterday. 
---
did anyone else using a 1050 have to jump through the special hoops..
--
and here's what the log says:
(IRAY:RENDER):   1.0   IRAY   rend warn : GPU 1 (GeForce GTX 1050 Ti) with CUDA compute capability 6.1 cannot be used by iray.
2017-33-27 19:33:03.618 WARNING: dzneuraymgr.cpp(261): Iray WARNING - module:category(IRAY:RENDER):   1.0   IRAY   rend warn : There is no GPU available to the iray renderer.

2017-33-27 19:33:08.375 Rendering image
----
so is this a daz error or a nvida error...
---
any one eles with a 1050 card having issues?
---
thanks

    problem solved...  daz will say "look you have a 1050" in the iray info...
    --
    what it will not say is " this version of daz can't render with it" 
    ---
    so newer version of studio renders on card.---
    this is the kind of info which should not be buried in the log file .. (which should basically be for programmers)
    but this is one of those "instead of an enigmatic black screen" let's tell the user to update the program because this iray render module can't use this card. 
    ===
    Error messages even the arcane ones rife with hidden meanings that windows uses are always helpful.

    Please don't post multiple threads on the same subject.

    the first one because of it's title elicted a comment that made no sense...  
    ---
    even doing web searches just brought up how to install 
    ---
    was attempting to get the problem defined to get a working answer.
    ---
    but as a matter of fact ... if could have found a button to delete the earlier posts I would have.. but I'm guessing that's an admin priviledge.. 
    ---
    the first one ..  iray gpu no, cpu yes ... was too vague although it was buried in the log..
    ===
    the second one stating basically it was working with one card and not the other was more specific
    ---
    and the third was an attempt to get feed back on the specfic issue of the 1050 not being seen.
    ---
    and all of them could have been avoided with the simple 
    error message ... "this version of daz cannot use that card" since daz acknowledged the card ...  I assumed it would work... 
    ---
    you can delete all of them if you want. 
    ----
    BTW .. nice stuff in your shop...  I own some of them...

    Are you doing an interior scene? If so your light may be being blocked. You can also chage the title of the thread if you wish.

    no... literally it was that the daz studio 4.9.2 I had installed said : look you have a ti 1050 installed it has this much ram etc...
    what it didn't tell me was that the render engine with that version couldn't use that gpu...
    I finally found that info in the log file... where it said it couldn't use the gpu on the card.
    I updated to studio 4.9.4 and it was able to render with the card.... 
    ===
    I remembered there being solutions to black renders etc. but it this case it wasn't a "generic" problem but "specific" to the fact that the older render engine couldn't work with the card.
    ---
    I hadn't upgraded because I saw some comments about the new version not doing iray as well and since the version I had installed was working fine with my 980 I figured why mess with that which is working.
    ---
    I developed some other video problems (not with rendering) but with the video card shutting down so I installed the 1050 card to trouble shoot that issue and got the new one.
    ---
    but I just finished this render in the gpu about 9 minutes... but had the card to 97% and used about 4060 of 4096 m of gl memory but it's only 1000x800
    ---
    I'm guessing since this is from the newer generation of card than the 980 was in that the render engine had to be updated ... but it apparently is updated with studio.
    ---
    and dammit as is par for the course... it's now 7 minutes after daz midnight..  and the stuff in the cart has doubled... and so daz and a couple of vendors lose a sale...
