How can I keep Daz from rendering off my CPU?

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Despite the fact that I have the boxes ticked appropriately, Daz studio still insists on rendering anything with more than two figures on my CPU and not my GPU. Is there any way around this that I'm missing?

    What GPU do you have and how much DDR is on it? The usual reason a render falls to the CPU is that there isn't enough memory on the GPU to handle the scene

    Do you have the latest drivers, etc

    I do have the latest Nvidea drivers, I don't know how to check my DDR, but would increasing my memory or ram solve this issue? Thank you. Is rendering on my CPU bad for the CPU?

    How mush video ram on your video card? Increasing regular RAM won't help it not drop to CPU, getting a video card with more video ram might help. Rendering on CPU can be bad if it can't be kept cool enough.

    Google a free utility called GPU-Z or use the WIndows Task Manager performance tab to see how much of your Video Memory is being used.
