CPU overwrites GPU

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Ive deselected the CPU settings but true as BOB my CPU gets maxed out every time i render... Ive deselected OPtix Prime as it does not do anything for me...

Any advice as to why the CPU is maxed out and GPU idles t 2%.. I have to say that the VRAM of the GPU is being used a lot.

    This is Daz Studio rendering in Iray, I gather? How are you monitoring the GPU usage - the new column in Windows 10 Task Manager does not give reliable information on this. What are your system specifications?

    How big and complicated (or otherwise) are your scenes, and what are your graphics card specs (including memory size)? Remember that the mesh and textures for all the objects in the scene have to fit in the card's memory, with enough left over for the actual render. Plus a rather hefty reserved system overhead if you use Windows 10.

    Another possibility is the driver for your graphics card. If you haven't updated that for a while, there were some combinations of driver version and card type that didn't play nice with DAZ|Studio.
