WDDM reserves substantially less than 1 Gb not almost 2Gb.

My apologies, you and Havos are correct. When I got home I checked that computer and it is reserving 900mb of VRAM.

I think the amount has been reduced recently from a post I saw.

I use an ASUS RTX2080ti as my primary render card. Here is an example of a fairly big scene. It has 8 G3 and G8 characters with clothes, The DA cat and dog with fur, the wyvern and the ROG Inn. It used 10.5 Gb of VRAM on the card when rendered at 3000x1688. The scene is of course heavily optimized, i.e. texture sizes reduced etc.

I agree with @nicstt technical proficiency aside, I really like this render. It's like the wizard with the familiar is totally laughing to himself about the ridiculousness of the tall tales the two adventurers are telling the tavern wench because he did the same thing back in his day :)

That could be it, or he could be looking at her bum!

It seems you may be correct. Attached is a screenshot of my system just after start-up. Just 300mb. That is a BIG reduction since when I checked on this issue way way way back in Jan 2020. Remember the good old days?  :-)

However I don't think that graphic really tells you how much VRAM is available to DS, because Windows 10 will not let any one app grab all that is available. To see that you need to run Daz Studio, and then do a simple test render. Open the DS log and search for "gib". This will say you have a card with 8.0 GiB of VRAM available, and should state that you have a bit over 7 for use in DS.

Thanks Havos. I will look into that and hopefully get back with my findings.  :-)
