Is There A Way To uninstall 4.12 and go back to 4.10?

I am having a problem that is slowing my renders and overheating my computer. When I render in iRay, it 'throws back' f the render processing from my GPU to my CPU which is causing damage to my computer. I know with each new release you like to 'burn your bridges' and erase previous versions, but this is a serious problem and needs to be addressed one way or the other. While you are adressing this bug, if you could restore Studio 4.10 for download thousands would appreciate it.I have seen numerous video channels warn not to download the new 4.12 update but it was too late, and I need to download the latest stable version, which 4.12 obviously is not. Can I get any cooperation on this, to include the latest stable version, 4.10, back in the install manager list so I can both save my processor and actually use my graphics card? Thank you.

This problem has been noted in both the beta AND public release in the videos, so neither is of use until the version is deemed 'stable'.

    Have you updated to the latest Nvidia driver? It shouldn't throw you back to CPU with the latest drivers. New versions of Daz Studio have a higher driver version requirement—although it is usually a good idea to keep the drivers updated anyway.

    I have a 4 GB GE Force 1070... is that outdated now as not powerful enough? Driver support updated my NVidea graphics driver a week ago.

    My point is, I seemed to have better performance with 4.10. I'll go with what I trust. Also, since upgrading my files seem to take an ungodly long time to load... has anyone else noticed this?

    You can try contacting the support to see if they can provide you with a copy of 4.10, but there's basically no chance Daz with make a version released years ago (and which doesn't even support recent cards) generally available for download again.

    Yes latest beta version of Daz is pretty much unusable for me with 16gb ram and a 1080ti 11gb. I have updated Windows and Nvidia drivers but scenes constantly fallback to CPU which causes either endless "preparing scene" or simply crashes to desktop, am also looking for a way to downgrade to earlier versions to see if the problem is with Daz or Nvidia.

    The latest stable version works for me with a 1080ti.

    Downloaded and installed the stable version and same thing there, "preparing scene ..." for a few minutes and then it falls back to CPU. This is rendering 2 mostly naked G8's with hair in an otherwise empty scene.

    I'm using version 441.41 of the driver on a Windows 8.1

    I'm using Win10-1909 and Nvidia 441.66, I tried using older versions of Daz, 4.10 and 4.11 and the CPU fallback issue remains. So now I'm going to try installing the Nvidia Studio drivers and if that doesn't work I'm going to start downgrading the Nvidia drivers and see if that helps.

    -Edit

    Studio drivers made no difference.

    It sounds like you have a bug in your driver or windows has a bug. I maybe wrong but the Nvidia 1070 only came with 8gb of vram! I have several of these cards and they are all have 8gb of vram. I am still using daz studio 4.10 myself until I hear all the daz studio user beta testers no longer having issues! I will not upgrade untill I must. I wish daz would post older versions so we could go backwards but that is not the case. I would advise you to not get rid of old installers for older versions of daz studio. This practice of keeping old installers lets me go back if I need to. If space is a problem I would just save older versions on a free online storage solutions.

    I'm using 412 with a 980ti 6g and a titanX 12g and it works fine.
    ----
    Driver version 430.64 standard.
    ----
    and despite comments about size of scene etc..  I've been watching and the titan will be using 8g and the 980 4g --- so maybe it plays until you blow past what the big card can take. 
    And I did have one that would have gone to cpu if I had gotten an 11g card.

    gpu shark or gpu-z will show you what the card is using and temperatures in the card which could should you why it's flipping to cpu.

    Falls Back To CPU,....
    I have a test machine with a 2 year old i5 that came with a GT710, and now has a GTX1030 in it aswell, and with 4.12 was getting the same basic issue, of Daz not making use of the nVidia GPU's.

    Updating the drivers was the fix, but not to the absolute latest drivers, but instead to the latest that were Certified seemed to fix it for me - this was roughly the first few days of the new year, and the driver was the second or third previous to current at that point.

    Ok, I have lower specs than yours ( 4GB GTX 860M)  but IRAY  in 4.1.2 works flawlessly after using NVIDIA automatic Driver update tools . Dont go manual driver option just let NVidia Automatic Drivers Tool choose for you
