RTX 3060 Ti for DAZ Studio

Hey all! I've been looking around to find a definitive answer to this question, without success. The question is, does the newest version of DAZ "fully" support the RTX 3060 Ti? I'm pretty sure you can use this card now, but what I'm curious about is can you actually use it without expecting either bugs, issues, etc.?

And on a side note, updating DAZ from a 4.10 version to one of the newest ones (I had an older card, haven't updated in a while) shouldn't mess up anything in terms of usablility of clothing, characters, poses, save files, etc, should it? If this assumption is incorrect, please let me know. I'm about to buy a 3060 Ti and want to update DAZ, and I just would like to know what to expect.

Thank you!

    I can't say if there still is bugs for the RTX30xx series, as I don't have such a card.

    But only the latest Daz Studio builds have the newest Iray builds which is needed for RTX30xx support.

    If you can find a 3060ti, you can use it with Daz 4.14, as long as you update to a driver that supports Ampere.

    There are bugs in DAZ Studio with every GPU so it's all a matter is the RTX 30X0 series officially supported in the iRay SDK integrated in DAZ Studio and it has been.

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. And since no one has addressed my second question, I presume that my assumption is correct in that updating DAZ shouldn't cause any incompatibility issues.

    Well we did answer your question though but we ain't going to tell you there are no incompatibilities at all, zilch, zero (aka bugs to most programmers) problems when DAZ 3D or nVidia don't do so and they are in much better possition to know than we. They try their best and would know better any anyone in the forums. They don't guarantee anything (DAZ Studio wise) and of course we DAZ 3D and nVifia customers are even in less possible position to guarantee anything regarding your particular customer experience regarding DAZ 3D & nVidia products.

    You can look here:

    Daz Studio Pro 4.14 - NVIDIA Iray - Daz 3D Forums

    Daz Studio Pro BETA - version 4.14.1.38! (*UPDATED*) - Page 7 - Daz 3D Forums

    NVIDIA Iray GPU Rendering | NVIDIA

     Or if you what some personal guarantee ask DAZ Studio customer support directly:

     Daz 3D Help Center (zendesk.com)

    So I think you misunderstood something there. No one in fact in the previous comments have addressed my second question. In that question I'm not asking about possible bugs, but expected and well known possible incompatibilities. Or in other words, at least theoretically, updating from 4.10s to 4.14s shouldn't cause any problems. This question has a definitive answer. Thanks for the links though.

    Since we don't have your box to test, we can't possibly tell you how well the 3060 will work with your configuration, just like we didn't know if there would be any issues with our own.  There are no guarantees of bug-free anything with Daz Studio, or Nvidia drivers or any other software or any hardware.

    I'm sorry, again, what you are saying here has nothing to do with my question. Just so it's crystal clear, I'm talking about the second part of my question, regarding updating from 4.10s to 4.14s. It has nothing to do with bugs, PC set-ups, Nvidia drivers or anything else. And even in the first part, I obviously wouldn't expect a guarantee, I was just merely asking if it's super unstable or is working decently.

    I've been using 4.14 on my 1080ti card a bit. Though I haven't done a lot to test its limits, everything I have tried has worked fine. I have had a couple of crashes but I try to remember to save before each new render if I make changes to the scene. Most everything that works in 4.10 should work in 4.14.

    1) All RTX 30xx series cards should be working correctly if you have DAZ version 4.14 and the latest nvidia driver. I have the 3090 and no issues so far.

    2) I can't answer this question in terms of 4.10, but I updated my daz from 4.12 and all the scenes and assets I used on 4.12 work the same on 4.14. I cannot, however be sure of 3rd party plugins, because I don't use any currently.

    In general 3060ti is a good entry-level card for DAZ, I would go for it :)

    Yes.  Version 4.14 works fine.

    My understanding is it should work, however, go to the source: ask the helpdesk.

    If it doesn't support 100% - taking into consideration the variations that can creap in with the various build possibilities and installed software - then it should get closer in the future as the 3000 series is here to stay: well, until the 4000 series is a thing
