I noticed a large increase in render tmies useing this new version...4.12... So, to make long story short..The optitex acceelaerator in the Render/Advanced/(optitex accel) was missing..can i get it back or is there a better 

way to get that speed back?  Thanks

    You mean Optix? AFAIK that option doesn't exist anymore as it's always active now.

    ok, always active??? things took a really slow turn on rendering,,,I reinstalled Cuda for my card, thinking it might be some thing of an update issue,,woudld that do any thing?

    Well the latest version of DS requires a more recent driver than the previous one, so updating the driver would be a good idea anyway.

    Is your GPU driver up to date? You'll need "NVIDIA Driver 441.22 (or newer) on Windows for pre-Turing GPUs, 442.19 (or newer) on Windows for Turing GPUs" according to the Daz Studio Pro 4.12 - Highlights thread. Minimum requirements have gone up since the previous general release.

    There is a 4.12.1.118 version out (last week) that you might want to get that fixes a couple of very annoying bugs...

    Iray has been reconfigured - it effectively uses OptiX if rendering using a non-RTX card, for RTX cards it uses the native RTX cores to do the same job. Which version of DS were you using before - the most recent chnages were, if anything, a speed up from the preceeding. However, for non-RTX cards this does mean more memory is being used so you may be seeing a drop to CPU where you weren't before.

    geforce gtx 780 driver ver.451.87. also installed cuda toolkit 11.0.1_4512... i have an older now I7 -4960x 3.60, i think you are right i will have slight drop. Cause the scene is polygon heavy...i could learn to bake my textures .now i guesss.   Thanks

    The CUDA Toolkit should not be necessary to run Iray. The nVidia driver gives Studio all it needs to access the GPU.

    Are you running an older version of Windows?

    Hi,  Win 10, is current. And i do have the memory plugin you mentioned there...does get used by default or by demand?

    4.12 is certainly slowly. However, if I recall, there is a "hack" which allows you to return to 4.11 speeds by changing the path length...
