Hey I have a integrated gpu but in daz studio advanced settings i am unable to see gpu instead of that it shows only cpu which takes more time to render. Even in the performance tab of task manager my cpu usage is approx 97-98% but gpu usage is 2%. How can I fix that?

    If the integrated GPU is not a Nvidia GPU, it isn't used by DS for any other purpose than driving the monitors.

    Using the GPU for Iray rendering, requires a new enough Nvidia GPU with new enough GPU drivers and in practive the Nvidia GPU needs to have at least 8GB's of VRAM.

    I understand that but how it is possible that the render time or my cou is equal to the render time of my friends GPU render. I just thought if I could use my integrated gpu in daz rendering or any type of rendering.

    CPU rendering usually takes hours, GPU rendering from a few minutes to maybe an hour - Do you mean your CPU renders in a few minutes?

    More likely, the friend doesn't realize that their renders aren't actually using the GPU.

    My pc takes 20 mins to one hour depending upon what I am adding. I recently rendered default genesis 8 female with extra clothing and hair in 4k and my pc rendered it in 12 mins. Same time took by my friends computer who has GTX 1650.

    Nope, I personally set his daz studio for my renders and ensured that GPU works. So now daz studio uses GPU in his computer.

    The GTX 1650 has just 4GB's of VRAM and being a non-RTX card that requires even more VRAM due to emulation of RTX functions, your friend is not rendering on GPU either.

    Can I use my integrated graphics card in daz studio?

    Not for rendering. That was answered above already.

    The way to fix the integrated GPU problem is to add an NVIDIA card to your machine.  Of course, you will need to find a card that will work in your case, motherboard, power supply, cooling, water cooling and the version of Windows has to be appropriate.  You will need to do this on your own, configuring a PC to get maximum performance is not an easy task.
