Just finished a chat w a crack NVIDIA customer tech. She refused to comment on, if NVIDIA was working on a patch to allow my card, the RTX 2080 to render in DAZ3D ever again. She did rebut me as to the 2080 being a gaming card and its not meant for use in any professional application.... anyway, I did manage to get a link to the driver ver 417.71 out of her. Which is the driver version, folks say will make NVIDIA cards work with the Iray softway, NVIDIA help create with DAZ3D to render images...that their tech reps say "shouldn't work"... So if you have a NVIDIA card that need the old driver, heres the link form their site

Good luck!

updare, downloaded the driver, did a clean re-install and the NVIDIA Iray render, both in preview window and to render final image is still not working.....ugh. If anyone else has had luck gettnig thier RTX 2080 card to work with the Iray render again. Please let me know.
The 2XXX series cards will only work with Daz version 4.11, which is the current public beta version. You need to download and use that version if you haven't already installed it. You can install it alongside the v4.10 - no need to remove your current installation.
Hello and Thank you for the reply. I'm currently out fo town and will be so til Thursday. I'll will give 4.11 a try when I return. But still, my 2080 card worked beautifully with DAZ 4.10, till things got buffo'ed with the update. Don't know if it was a lucky fluke for me, but it rendered without CPU help like a champ. Again, thank for the reply and info
I installed DAZ 4.11. Here is what my message log says when I render:

Update with a happy ending. I clean installed the 417.71 driver and Loaded DAZ 4.11 Beta. 4.11 sees and functions with all existing content "figures. wardrobe...etc" that I installed on my machine in the past for 4.10 and my 2080 Card is one again blazing fast and fully functioning in RENDER mode. Bravo to DAZ, well done!
