Daz not seeing Iray engine

nigelcox

I'm new to DAZ, so please forgive me if I am missing something obvious.

I have a brand new Surface Studio Laptop with a RTX 3050 Ti GPU. Driver version is 27.21.14.6259.

My medium threshold is 512 and high is 1024 (Defaults?)

Using a simple Genesis 8 image with dress and hair only with Render mode Photoreal.

 

If I switch off CPU in Render Advanced (PhotoReal and Interactive) Rendering ends immediately with an empty Render scene. 

Selecting CPU and GPU renders in 74 seconds (62 iterations to convergence)

Selecting CPU and disabling GPU renders in 70 seconds (62 iterations to convergence) - likely identical

Looks as if that driver is at least a year old, but I'm not at all sure how to translate the number into the two-number system used by the Iray version requirements

Last 5 digits. Driver version 27.21.14.6259 means 462.59.
