Hmmm.....
Don't trust in what the task manager is showing you. Get another programm like HWmonitor or MSI Afterburner and you will see that your GPU is working when you render. I think the taskmanager can't see the Cuda cores(which are doing most of the rendering work) or something like that.

Also if your whole scene is bigger than your VRAM, DAZ will switch to your CPU and RAM for rendering. (At least thats what i read somewhere)

Nice call. I ran HWMonitor this time and it showed the GPU was constant at 98% - !00% utilization during the render. I never considered Task Manager wouldn't report on the Cuda core usage. I knew the VRAM wasn't the issue because I was just rendering "vanilla" brand new DAZ tutorial renders...no exotic lights, etc. HWMonitor confirmed that also and at least those numbers agreed with what Task Manager was showing about the memory usage.

Learned something new today. Thanks!
