Imagine with the lastest update, Titan RTX can have a shared pool of VRAM when NvLinked .Like I said you keep the fastest one, but actually the gpu looks faster even in the 9xx series than a recent 6/8core cpu((I thought the difference would be just as glaring) With my 4790k I didn't try too hard to understand, as soon as his pass on the cpu I stop rendering..If I don't cut the render down soon, it'll soon become unusable.. The problem remains the memory of our gpu during the rendering, if the scene is too loud, it will pass anyway on the cpu during the rendering or DAZ will crash.
Dev DAZ, should review the use of RAM and VRAM when rendering for gpu only.
More seriously, dev Daz just use Nvidia Iray license, and actually don't develop it but implement it in Daz studio. Kinda why it rely heavily on Nvidia cards and not optimized (at all) for CPU usage. I agree with you with VRAM usage, especially with amateur like us (with no professional setup) but it's not like we're not having tools to deal with it. What we can do or not with our card with a reasonable rendering time is a lot of work and patience (and tweak ).
