No matter. It seems Dell does put the drivers on their website after testing them a bit but don't necessarily force them on the user through updates unless there's a problem fixed or whatever for the user's specific card. I dropped them a note and got a response in a matter of minutes. Seriously. So I went ahead and updated to 430.86. No problems. and everything is working now.
The image I rendered yesterday (CPU) took ten minutes to 95%, tonite it took only two to 100%. And they're identical.
All's well that ends well.
What is new in DAZ 4.11 compared to 4.10, can anyone link me to a page if there is one about it. Thanks
The very first message in this thread has a link to highlights, as well as a lot of other valuable information.

Scroll down to get the history of 4.11 changes.
But it is not a comparison table for 4.10 and 4.11
Found two bugs and submitted report
1/ using node selector and cube view controls, translate will not drag right
2/ using the keyboard button to go from keyboard to alphabetical hunt, my entire content library disappeared and nothing I did brought it back. I had done a system restore point before the installation of DS4.11, default resources and dforce essentials so have reverted back to 4.10 and everything is back to where it should be.
I've used 4.11 beta on a 980ti to render with a 970 driving the monitors. Works in release of 4.11 too. Just make sure you have a suitable driver installed. I'm using 430.39, although there are later versions available, I've just not tried them as "if it aint broke, leave the hell alone." :D
... And it doesn't seem to be broke.
I don't understand why DAZ won't let us use the previous version? Is it a loss of revenue for them? Is there a licensing issue? Or is it taking up too much room on their servers? New, Daz studio versions have always been quirky so, I don't install the new version until I've seen what kind of mess it causes for other people. For Mac users I would not install new versions until I heard from other mac users that it was not nuking their system! I would like to say, Thanks for the update DAZ I really do appreciate it. Oh, and I'm not being sarcastic. I really do like upgrades. I hope DAZ changes it's policy to let users install one interation back so that they can keep using this great software. Sorry, about your problems Colvin. In the past, I used to made copies of my studio installer files and kept a copy. Now I just save content and wait for awhile before upgrading studio. I would save up some money and check craigslist and see about getting a cheap pc and using 3dl as a render engine for now. There is a script in freebies section that will convert iray to 3DL. I use 3DL alot because, I do alot of night and space scenes and daz studio Iray hates dark scenes, Consequently, I do the background render in 3DL and do Iray for closeups of main actors and of course blend them in photoshop. As always I say look on the bright side:

At first thanks to update to 4.11 but....
After update from 4.10 to 4.11 via DIM it was looking fin. I started version X86 a windows opened to put in your login data, all ok up to now. Thaught it must be for first start after update.
I started than the version 64bit and got the first failure see attached screen shot.
Ok I changes the start option to start NOT as Admin, why ever it was activated, I don't know.
Start DS 64bit again, voila it works fine. Again windows for loging in to DS accont. Some tests are also OK, up to now...
Checking preferences and did some little changes, start again, no changes in preferences saved.
What ever I do or try, nothing changed preferences are saved in both versions in 64bit as well as in X86.
I think it has also to do with the access permissions for files or folder.
All folder for DS, install folder and the user folder has the access permissions for the active user.
Does anyone of you have an idea where I can still looking for to solve this problem?
What is your OS (Operating Sysytem) and where is DS installed?
OS Windows 10 and installed in C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D and X86 C:\Program Files (x86)\DAZ 3D
Which Preferences did you try to save?
I've never had before any problem to save the changed preferences, I'm not sure is it important, which changes I did.
I want to change the "Temp-Folder", DSONcach-Folder, and the startup options
I'm about to file a couple. Love the new hairs but noticed an issue, and potentially another. Not interested in returning as they are great if not fixed. They'll need to be fixed to encourage me to buy others; unless, of course, the fault lies with my understanding.
The Y:/Temp folder ... is that on a network drive?
No it isn't it is a local HDD, BTW I already tried to change the folders to the original settings, like on C:\ but it didn't help.
May have found a bug. The D-Formers are not working. When I apply a new one to any object and select the Field node there is nothing displaying. When selecting the Base or the main node that actually does the deformations nothing happens. I've tried this on hair, a figure and a hat... nada! Kinda need this to make some hair go under the hat. I thought I had a product that would do that but I can't find it in my Library so not sure where something like that would be installed....
If you are using VR on your PC or any 3d vision interactive software you will also need the game driver, the gaming driver also has implementation updates for VR app where the studio version doesn't but if you just doing Daz you don't need all the gaming components unless your using it to create VR or using a gaming engine like unreal4
My PS Bridge not working with this update.... all it does is load a blank white image when I go from daz to PS...blank image
I'm running OS 10.12.6, Sierra on my Mac. Did anyone try running DS 4.11 on Sierra? Does it run on Sierra, High Sierra, or what?
By any chance, do you know if it runs on OS X 10.12.6?
Where is Default Resources? It doesn't show up in my DIM. Just DS 4.11 and Go Z for DS. Those are both included under "Product Updates." But this is the Mac Version. Would it not be listed for the Mac version, but maybe included in the DS 4.11 download? I tried searching in DIM for "Default Resources": nothing turned up.
Did you install the updated £D Bridge, with Photoshop and DS closed?
Works for me, testing on a sphere primitive
You're using Yosemite with an Nvidia card? So do you have an Hackintosh?
I haven't tried in 4.11, but there used to be an issue with applying dformers to any object that had been moved from the world center. The dformer would be created, but would not be located in the place you expected it to be. The dformer field was off someplace else and didn't intersect with the vertices you were trying to deform. Could that be your issue?
I once again made the comparison of DS 4.10 and 4.11.
DS 4.11 can not be started as Admin (see pic). If I start DS 4.11 as a normal user, changed settings (preferences) will not be saved.
Now it's going crazy.
If I start DS 4.10 as a normal user, then I can not save any changed preferences. If I start DS 4.10 as Admin, then everything works without problems (see picture with changed DSON-folder).
Both versions work in exactly the opposite way.
Driver requirements are not higher as far as I can tell, but it does increase vram requirements, it creates additional render surfaces in card memory to then post process denoise them, then switch back to
rendering and repeat each number of iterations. On my end a scene using 75% of my gtx 970's 4 gigs will jump to anywhere between 85% - 96% depending on the image size being rendered when denoising kicks in.
try to minimise anything else using video memory before you click for an actual render with the denoiser on, I keep a hardware monitor open on a second screen so I can watch Vram usage, I also downloaded and
am running nvidias cuda memory thing so I can see whats running on the card.
My 2 cents if anyone is interest.
Tonight has been the first time I have had a chance to play with daz 4.11 using it in a animation test , the Install was painless and all my plugins still appear to be working. I was happy about that actually daz has a habit of breaking things during upgrades.
I have to say thank you daz to who ever fixed the IK issue when the universal tool was active . I notice right away I did not have to repair jumps created during sequencing. I can not tell you how great that is and how annoying it was having to use key-mate every time to fix that little hop. .. BIG thank you.
2nd was I also notice when during complex pose to pose keyframe animation in the past in 4.10 sometimes there would be a collapse or wrap in some of the characters I used joint locations mostly around the collars and shoulder areas they would be come flatten or twisted. . thank you for fixing that because before all I could do is hide it at best. that changes made a huge difference in animating confroming clothes.
BUT!!! Now the Butt right..lol...
I had to work out some issues with PostgreSQL CMS during install because it kept asking for a directory location once i changed that that manually the error seems to be gone now .
I had to manually reset my external libraries , no biggy but I still had to reset those.a well
Rendering Iray so far appears to have really no appreciative improvements in the render speed even after driver updates and using my Iray animation render technique.. at least not what i had expected with all the hype, But I'll work with it a little more maybe i need to get use some of the changes.
I had to re-add the Aux view port and reload my work space layout & my style settings as well, I was glad i saved that stuff before i updated because those changes did not carry over during the upgrade. I thought you want to know that.
Other than those few minor things. everything appears to in place now and running fine, I have not rtired any complex deforce clothing and hair in animations yet that will be next. But seriously thank you guys so much for fixing those annoying little ik issues with the characters deforming.
one last thing can we please get a upgrade to the animate2 timeline.. I know,I know complain, complain. Thanks again.
Not sure yet. I was leaving for work shortly after I posted. So not had a chance to see if I was in error... as Richard states it's working for him but like I said, I tried it on various items and FOR ME it wasn't working!
