since April 17, 2019. I've updated yesterday. No problems with a 1070 GTX on Windows 10 so far.
  • IRAY got updated to 2018.1.3 (312200.3564), (I believe the previous DAZ Beta was 2018.0.1, would be nice if somebody could confirm this before updating)
  • DO NOT update if you need to render scenes that must look exactly the same, there are various changes that will result in a different rendered image
  • Kepler GPUs have some issues is specific cases
  • IRAY:
    Made the loading of textures parallel.
    (so faster loading scenes? can't test this since I already updated)
  • a bunch of bugfixes, check attached IRAY release notes for details
In case you're Beta-user consider to make some baseline-benchmarks with 4.11.0.236 (October 9, 2018) before the update to compare:
  • rendering speed
  • loading times
I did not and regret it.

EDIT:
comparison with stable DAZ using the "IrayTestSceneStarterEssentialsOnly.duf"

Yep, seems faster.
