THANKS for all the links folks. I'll check those out against my card when I get home.
Stupid question... Where does one look in the NVIDIA panel for the cores that one's card has? What's it's called? Cores?
Could you please explain what you mean by it failed. We have no idea how to try and help without knowing what the problem is :)
I just pulled up install manager, i found daz 4.8(win 64) public build. as your looking at it on your right you will see download, but mine says (resume)never mind i fixed the problem. i had to reinstall it now it installed
Thanks. I'm still looking at the Asus GTX 970. Unfortunately, the dollar/euro rate right now is terrific for me as a PA, but bad for anything imported. It's 369 euro - that's around $330.
I'm going to try 4.8 tomorrow with the setup I have. Actually, all I want to know is how my products render in it. Apart from that, maybe 1 promo for every product. That's 4 a year. LOL.

I think CPU-Z does

On the NVIDIA Control Panel click "System Information" in the lower left.
OMG. Thanks. I used to use this all the time and forgot to install it on my new system. Cool.

Greetings,
And yeah, it recommends the EVGA GeForce GT 740 w/4GB of DDR5 for $120. Wish I could pick one up on the way home, I could *really* use something happy-making right now.I love that gpu-boss site! I literally have a configuration that reads:
I will get one, by this weekend, though. Unfortunately it'll sit in my dusty Windows box, which I can only pray supports PCIe3.0, and do nothing but be a render-slave. (Not network rendering; I save the scene on my Mac, load it on my Windows box, start the render and shut the screen off.)

To find out the number of cores just type the card number and "cores" into Google. For example the GTX 760 has 1156 cores. The 780 has double that. With the 770 somewhere in the middle. Each NVidia generation works similarly. The 760 4GB is a bit of a bargain still. 3 x more cores than the 740 at about double the price.
I love the new iridium but I can't figure out how to get my dpl skydome to show up in the renders. All I get are black backgrounds.
660ti has 1388 cores, so the TI versions change up the game a it.
But with what Superdog is saying I agree. I would rather save money and buy more cores than to waist money on a slow video card.
Hay! I've actually installed this ... okay ... "gentle observation", to be able to "cancel render" without necessarily crashing the program would be kool. It's hit and miss. Actually to be able to stop and save whatever was accomplished so far would be even better.
One object, one background image ... taking [for me] a long time to render BUT IT LOOKS GREAT. Lights came from ? but we've got shadows and everything. ty
Render has not finished yet so will post later.
What can I expect with Daz/Iray combo with this computer?
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Pentium-B960-Notebook-Processor.64192.0.html
Will it be bogged down like it was with Daz/3Delight or is the 4.8 build easier on your PCs resources. My cursor would slow down when rendering and I almost had to fully dedicated my computer to just the render process, because it was dreadfully slow when it came to multiple tasks being done during the render process. Can I expect the same with the new Iray with Daz or worse? Or did Daz improve that as well. I'm trying to figure out if I need to stay the course with the Daz/Reality4/Luxrender path or will the new Iray/Daz path be just as easy on my PCs resources?
Can someone please help me? I don't want to jump in with 4.8 if I'm going to get the usual Daz/3Delight bog. It was ok for the toons stuff, but with HD and SSS my computer was running like a turtle.
If I switch CPU off and have only my card selected, I get black renders. (ASUS GTX 660TI 2Gb)
And even in the renders I do get, there are no textures visible. This is with just one simple prop in the scene.
Any ideas?

is it a complex scene? Can you render a simple scene with 1 item on the GTX? First guess is you ran out of VRAM.

I edited my post just as you were replying. It's just one prop in the scene. Render time (for a black render) is 0.26 secs, so I don't think the card even gets a chance to run out of VRAM.

Try the newest Nvidia driver.
Someone else has the same error and this helped
In a word...don't bother.
You may pick up a slight, but it would probably be very slight, speed boost. Your machine will NOT be GPU accelerated, so there will be no phenomenal gains. Wait for the 'production' run of 4.8.
I solved the no texture issue. If I select Iray in the menu, I don't get texs in the render. If I select Texture shaded, I get 'em.
I thought that was only for the viewport display? Do I need to select Iray to render?

Ah ha!!!!
I betcha that's it. I haven't updated the drivers for quite a while.
Thanks!!

Will upping the memroy help. I have a 4GB memory stick ready to be added. Will that help? And is there anything I can do to my current setup to make the most of what I have?
Question:
How do I install the 3d Photoshop Bridge for DAZ Studion 4.7 plus 7 postgreSQL CMS?
These items show up in DIM, but when I click to install Photoshop Bridge says "Installing" and then flashes and goes back to DIM where it says "Install"
postgreSQL says installing goes all the way to 100% but then returns to DIM with the words install.
Any tips to get these items to install?
That's all I am doing at the moment is seeing how some of mine and Art Collab products work.
Memory does not really help rendering speeds at all, nor will it prevent your system from becoming sluggish when you render.
Your best bet would be to set Daz studio to using only one of your two cores with the windows task manager if you need to multitask while rendering.
When Daz is running, launch windows task manager. (do this before you start the render...)
Click on the Processes tab
Find DazStudio in the list of processes
Right Click on DazStudio, Set Affinity...
You should see a list of all the processors on your computer, and each one is checked right now
If you only have two cores, just uncheck one of the two so Daz won't use this process for the remainder of the session
Which one you choose does not matter as windows will automatically make sure other programs use what is available.
You now will have some CPU power left to browse the web while rendering, but your render will take 2X as long.
When you close Daz, this will reset to normal.
Where do I find the 'emitter' shader? Did I not install something?
When I set up my install manager as described in the announcement to receive the Iray beta files and try to download, I get the following error message:
Install Manager cannot find a required path. The package for "Scene Builder for DAZ Studio Public Build +Beta+" requires that the installed path for "DAZ Studio 4.x Public Build" be defined. Make sure that a path for this application is present on the "Applications" page of the "Settings" dialog, then try again.
Also, there are Iray files available for download, but no Daz Studio 4.8 Pro Beta. Is this as it is supposed to be, or should i also be able to download Studio 4.8 Beta? Decimator and other supporting files are available, but no Program.
Unless this model is different from the one you typed out I found it for a bit less...

I had same error, but it was because one file tried to install before the other. Scene builder should install after the core product and you should be fine. So make sure you do download that one first, it was in the list for me.
...just noticed "Superclocked" does that mean it is overclocked?
Yep yep. Lots of them come with overclocking abilities or pre "overclocked" with bigger fans to keep them cool. From my experience they are not dangerously overworked, the last overclocked card I had from EVGA actually ran cool most of the time
I didn't go out of my way though, it just happened to be the right price ;)
Okay ... so others don't waste their time, if the program is offering to save a render to the Render Library, a folder which may not exist if one had removed it many editions ago ... either make the folder FIRST [and hope it works], or select another place. It will NOT make the folder.
I'm not adept at all this as many well know, so I loaded one prop, one background image, the rest was default whatever.
