DAZ not using GPU with CPU unchecked

For some reason I cannot seem to get DS to use GPU instead of CPU

I have a (new refurbished)  Nvidia 1080Ti installed and if I render without CPU I get a blank render. If I enable CPU it renders but I cannot tell if it is using the GPU or not?

Checked: CUDA [string of numbers] GTX 1080Ti ( WDMA-Display )

This is a clean install of GPU having removed old drivers and replaced with new current drivers.

It was my understanding if I unchecked CPU in render/advanced leaving GPU checked (cpu fall back) it would render via GPU.  My test is a single small scene with no props and just one figure.

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Thanks.

Check the log file, it should tell you what was used to render.

Another thing to note.  In Viewport it will not render colors/textures when I choose Nvidia just gray.

Does it fail with just a 1 division cube promitive?

[SOLVED]

Seems the drivers for this card were not compatible with DS. I little research showed that I should obtain the Studio Drivers which I did...and that fixed the issue.
