CPU or Graphics Card for Rendering?

nabob21

Hello,

How can you tell if Daz Studio is using the CPU or graphics card for rendering? And can you you choose which one to use or does the program automatically select?

Thanks for any replies.

You can choose which devices to use in the Advanced tab of Render Settings - though if all GPUs  fail due to running out of memory the current version of DS will drop to CPU (a frthcoming build will have the option to tell Iray to stop if it can no longer use the GPU). The initial messages in the progress bar will tell you what is being used (or the Status Bar for preview), or you can check CPU usage in Task Manager (checking GPU usage is not helpful without making sem changes) - if it's under 100% the GPU is amost certainly doing the work, the CPU is just managing it.
