Studio 4.11, Iray Preview Render Not Working in Viewport, Freezing on Deleting Objs

Pretty much what the title says. I just got Studio 4.11. I go to chose NVIDIA Iray in the viewport instead of texture shaded so I can see what needs adjusting/fixing, and .... nothing. DAZ thinks and thinks some more and nothing ends up happening. A scene that was taking only 15-20 seconds to load into the view port now just isn't doing it; I waited ten minutes! Then I tested it in another scene, same thing. Help?
Also, I'm having a freezing problem *again* that started in Studio 4.10; when I go to delete a character, instead of deleting in a minute or so it just doesn't delete at all, my cursor is "thinking" and DAZ ends up freezing. THAT I waited out at 30 minutes. It is ridiculoussss. I can't figure it out and I can't work on anything. This freezing has been happening for a very long time now, when going to delete a Gen8 character.
Here are my comp specs:
Edit to Add: Also now my renders are all BLACK!

What is your GPU driver version?
I know I have the latest, but my card is... older now. 8 years? It's the original Titan-X.
Actually, I closed down DAZ and today opened it up again, an a render of a new scene worked. I hope it was just a bug.
Still having the object deleting freeze problem tohugh :(
