RTX 2070 not being used by Daz3d when rendering any object

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Daz3d refuses to use my RTX 2070 when it renders in Iray. At first I thought it was because of a lack of a sufficient amount of VRam, but when I attempted to render a volleyball and nothing else at all in Iray, it still used 100% of my CPU, which is a Ryzen 5 2600x, and not my RTX 2070. GPU-Z indicates that my GPU is not being used as well so any help on what my problem is would be much appreciated. FYI, I have my GPU selected in the render settings and also my CPU. If I just leave my GPU selected, the rendering will not work at all. I also tried rendering no objects at all and it still used 100% of my cpu.

    You need DS 4.11 or later to use the 2070 GPU. Download and install Daz Studio Public Beta 4.11.0.236. If you've never used a DS beta before, purchase it (free) in the Daz store.

    I have the same problem and I use the newest beta build.

    My system is: GeForce RTX 2070/PCIe/SSE2; Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz; 16 GB RAM.

    I also made sure of:

    - the scene (1,6 GB being smaller than the available VRAM (8GB minus about 1,2 for Windows and suff = 6,8 GB)
    - drivers being up to date.
    - the CPU being disabled in the advanced render options (didn't change anything, it's still using it and not the GPU).
    - the possibility of scene content not causing this for some strage reason (it happens with Genesis 3F all standard as well).
     

    No matter what I do or change, it's only using the CPU.

    I need new ideas.

    Please help.

    Do you have the latest Nvidia drivers? Windows update typically doesn't give you the latest you will need to go to Nvidias website to get the latest. That's the only guess I have, hope it helps.

    The 2-4 -2019 driver broke iRay. If you have it installed you may need to roll back to the previous driver to get iray working again. I had to.

    I'm still using a driver for my 2080 ti that was released in November because anything after that would cause my HDMI output to work only once after installing.  If I rebooted, or shutdown and powered up again, there is no 60Hz signal.  Only the displayport would work.

    I just rolled back to driver version 417.71 from january 15th. Nothing changed.
     

    Edit: But rolling back to the last November version helped. GPU usage is still not shown in Taskmanager, but DAZ uses it (rendering faster than before while only consuming 25% CPU).
