I thought I would ask here. I know there is an overwhelming wealth of DAZ knowledge here. I have an issue that has popped up here in the last week or so that is driving me crazy. Which is actually a short walk rather than a drive...
I am using DAZ V4.15.0.2 Pro
Just a couple of weeks ago I noticed that my render time to increase to the point that it is almost unusable. I have the renders set short by most standards so I can get things done quickly or updates would be months apart. I am getting exceptable renders for a VN I think.
Progressive Setting: Min=1
interval=5sec
Min Samples=100
Max samples=800
Max Time=270sec
Quality=On
Quality=2
Post SSIM=OFF (or ON it makes no difference it seems)
I have the currant ver of Nvidia Studio drivers installed.
What used to take only 5 min 20 secs @ 500 to 700 Iterations of the 800 now takes more than 45 minutes to just get to the Min 100 iterations where it finishes. ??
I have watched the GPU on the Nvidia monitor and it is running at 99/100% during the render period like always has. I can tell within 45 sec to a minute if it is working right or not by the sound. When the RTX 3080 kicks in it sounds like a jet. That doesn't happen now. The CPU monitor is as always around 8 to 12% . It isn't reverting back to CPU mode or DAZ would say so ( I think, or it used to. ) and the CPU would run WAO. The machine is an Alianware R11 with 11Gen i9, and the RTX 3080.
The first render I do rips out like it is supposed to, and then it Bogs down to a snails crawl. That is even if I change scenes/duf.
I have looked, and looked with Zero luck trying some info on the various DAZ forums. Which by the way is mostly useless.....
Does any one out here have any idea what I could try to get this thing back to how it was, and should be???????
HELP me Obi-Wan Kenobi !
Any help appreciated thanks
