Daz Studio 4.21 causing system lag

Since upgrading from Daz Studio 4.12 to Daz Studio 4.20 and now Daz Studio 4.21, all apps and programs lag when I'm GPU rendering. With Daz Studio 4.12 I could run as many programs as I wanted to and there was no lag. I just updated my GPU driver to the latest studio driver and the systems still lags. Even though I have 64 gb system memory, I could understand lagging if I was CPU rendering. Working offline helps a little, but not much. Is there a setting I can tweak to get DAZ not to bog the whole system down? It's annoying trying to do post render touch up and PS lags.

Are you sure it isn't using the CPU for rendering?
Thanks for getting me to look in the right place.
I unchecked the "Allow CPU Fallback" and re-rendered an image. It rendered 1 minute faster and the lag was gone.
I have a RTX 3090ti with 24 gb VRAM. The render would fit in the VRAM six times over. I don't understand why it was falling back and using CPU clock cycles when the GPU could handle the render easily.
How are you measuring the amount of VRAM the render requires? The log will tell you what issus the render encountered (Help>Troubleshooting>View Log File).
I attached the log before I unchecked "Allow CPU Fallback". I didn't see any problems flagged, but it shows both CPU and GPU were being used for the render.
Studio driver was broken last I heard of it, maybe try with Game driver instead. I've had issues with several softwares until I switched it to Game version (on 3080).
