If you don't have an Nvidia card, its rendering on CPU. You've got an AMD card? Try this thread, download the benchmark scene and render it and see how it compares to the equivalent Nvidia GPU and see how it compares to your CPU in the list, you'll see what I mean.

With the DS comes 3 render engine: OpenGL, 3Delight and Iray. Videocards from AMD can render OpenGL (these are all viewport modes except Iray, but you can also change the engine in the image output and render for example mesh), 3Delight uses a CPU, and Nvidia Iray naturally works only with Nvidia video cards.
For some reason, many people think that Iray and DAZ Studio are the same thing
This is not so, Iray is a third-party engine from Nvidia, just included in the delivery. The same is OpenGL (from Khronos Group) and 3Delight (DNA) In addition to these render engines, you can connect others to the DS, for example, Octane.

DAZ Studio 4.10 and built-in render engine Scripted 3Delight (outline script) + minor postwork in GIMP:
Mix Scripted 3Delight (outline) and Iray. Assembly 3 layers in GIMP:

Exactly, I even said Iray is Nvidia's render engine, I was talking about Iray and GPU's as you can see in the post of mine that was quoted and the posts before where the line of discussion was all about GPU's, if someone says AMD cards work with Iray and someone reads that and goes and drops money on an AMD card to find it doesn't deliver anything close to the relevant Nvidia GPU or deliver at all because they want to render in Iray (as 99% of us are doing here), then they're going to be pissed they dropped their money on it, this is getting twisted in a completely different direction from what I was discussing lol.

All the same, he said that AMD cards work with OpenGL. Although clumsily said, yep )

Yes we agree that the cpu level rendering speed, is not worth the prowess of a nvidia card that has already been mentioned here. But you can render with an AMD card, and my source is here, the guy who made this site has an AMD card...

And he specifies in one of this post that only the IRAY preview doesn't work with an AMD card. I didn't wonder which one, I couldn't find them, there's so many of them and it's a bit of a mess xD But it is possible to rendering IRAY with an AMD card.

No, I said AMD won't work with Iray, he responded and said nothing about OpenGL, it was about Iray.
Virus blocker won't let me view that link.

I think 3Delight was used there. It’s just that the render is very different from the usual Iray output, it’s more simplified. That is, the video card did not participate in the process, 3Delight works only with the CPU.

Faux-positive okok
Like i said : The mess
smtp.free.fr are not securised then faux-positive
he was showing the new features of daz 4.10 or 11 and in render setting was well set up in IRAY.

Iray just can't work with AMD video cards, the chip architecture is different. This cannot be fixed by any drivers or hacks. It is at the hardware level.
P.S. Although ... I thought, well, purely theoretically (!) You can write a parser that will be executed on the CPU, and then transfer the data to the AMD graphics card. I'm only afraid of performance, such a parser will be slower than directly rendering Iray to the CPU

Logically, if the cpu INTEL/AMD can do IRAY I don't see why an AMD card can't do it INTEL/AMD CPU, GPU Nvidia/AMD has 4 different architectures and I don't see why only 3 could do it ???? You've been vile GPU AMD you're punished ???

Emmm... you know, I don’t consider myself stupid. I have been subscribing to the blogs of the Iray and MDL developers, I read the specifications changes and (oh, horror!) I even understand what they write about (

Yeah
It's true. Rivalry for an additional ten to twenty million dollars. Nvidia will crush anyone for them, and AMD too.

You see, in Iray, the output is drawn on the Nvidia video card and the output on the CPU. But for obvious reason, they do not make a conclusion to AMD video cards and are not going to do it. But you cannot parse their code and add support for AMD video cards there. This is a proprietary code and there are too many for 1-3 people. A large team gathered to do this will instantly receive a lawsuit from Nvidia.
