Video card not rendering

mechw8

Does anyone have any advice on what drivers to use for a GTX680? I'm running WIndows 10, and it was working for the previos version of DAZ, but now the render progress screen comes up for about 5 seconds and disapears and there's nothing rendered in the frame.

From the Nvidia site here are the current drivers but double check to be sure the info is accurate to your specs. Your card won't be able to handle anything in Iray because it doesn't have enough VRAM. You are probably running out of memory. But someone more knowledgable about GPU's can weigh in to better explain.

Hi Frank, I have the latest drivers for my video card which is 472.12 which was relased in Sept 2021. I was using 466.47 with DAZ 4.15 and I got my images to render; it took about 15 miniutes, but now that I'm running 4.16 Pro, it dosen't work anymore. I've been looking for a new card over the last year, but as you and everone else knows, it's virtually impossible to get one right now. So I was hoping there would be a fix with what I currently have.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but i doubt you've been rendering with that gpu in some time, as support for kepler gpus(including the 680) was dropped back in version 4.14(nov/dec 2020).

No driver is going to make a difference.

So it sounds like I just need to bide my time and wait for video cards to become more availible again; that kind of sucks because I just spent about $200 at the DAZ Store buying different morph tools.

Could there be a sort of work around where I export my entire scene into blender and use it to render my scenes?
