It looks like you figured it out, but just in case ...it doesn't really matter where you put it, as you have to import it to get it in there. You can either 'import' it from the menu, or just drag and drop it from explorer.
I would suggest that you try the alternative for yourself. Run the same scene for the exact same amount of time for the two methods and compare the result. I have spent a significant amount of time learning DAZ and the principles of lighting and ray tracing. I am trying to share what I have learnt.
As another example, please see below (8k --> 4k) which ran for 50 iterations. It uses a scattering box and DOF. I also tried running this at 1080p and after over 1000 iterations it still looked awful.

Do you really think they change the code / method of doing the ray tracing, dependent upon your graphics card? Having a high end card will merely reduce the time taken to do each iteration.

Yes, there is an aesthetic difference between the rtx 2080 and any other lower-end CG with daz 4.11, but I wouldn't know how to explain it.
DAZ version 4.11 was made for this graphic card, info or intox to you to see.
For my part, 4.11 makes rendering with aliasing.
Since iRay isn't 1/10 as capable as Cycles when it comes to shaders, I had to bake my node setups in Cycles. While baking, I added some 4k surface imperfection textures without costing any amount of ram.

When did I ever imply anything about downsampling or denoiser being a bad thing? I specifically pointed out to you that you do not understand what an iRay iteration is and what function it performs.
I'll repeat myself again. For simple materials and shaders, yes, 100-200 iterations will be good enough, like for example the scene you provided. For a complex scene, that has glass, high glossiness, transparency and many other complex surfaces, you'll need more passes for the scene to look decent even taking into the account the downsampling and the denoiser part.

I don't think I fully understand what exactly do you mean by that, but I can assure you that there was never a special version of Daz designed for a specific card in mind. If you are talking about the iRay plugin for Daz, then yes, it works best with NVidia Cards.
Iray is very reliant on CUDA Cores for GPU mode of rendering. So, if you are implying that RTX 2080 will do a better job at rendering then the previous generation of cards, then the answer is yes, because it has more CUDA Cores to help with that.
If you are talking about the "RTX" part of the card for Ray-Traycing Accelerated Applications, it will be up to Daz to implement that for iRay.

Anyway, we polimicked it for hours but the version of daz 4.11 works better on the latest cards for me.

Well then I am glad that I finally have a pale oneShe definitely needed to be in the sun, I like! any chance we get to see her in action?
She soon will be in action yes! The next thing to do is creating her partner.
The scenes for which I posted are actually highly complicated. The last one in particular, due to the scattering field I placed in the scene. As I suggested before, run the experiment for yourself and make up your own mind. Feel free to post the comparative images, should I be mistaken in my advice.

Quick test with denoiser, rendered in 8K with 300sec time limit. Downscaled to 4K with Sinc (Lanczos3) so it's a bit more blurry, plus jpeg format.
Just some shit i was working on

1st "backdoor" experience with the "Land Lady".
Not a big fan of the hair I used, I believe the shape is just right and... Motherly(?), but it's just too plastic-y when rendered, should have fiddled a bit more with it though.

Testing Black Widow Suit.. ignore the floating zipper
Don't have any Scarlett Johannson body/hair installed..
Maybe some touch on those boots but originally comes only with "expand all" option.
Wanna work on Scarlett now and after that I ll see what I can do with the suit

usually if something doesn't work, make it disappear, you could have set the opacity for that zipper to 0 and none would be the wiser. I love the suit though
I saw the zipper later after the render was done.. miseed that on the viewport.. meh 5 minutes render but that should be my last problem..usually if something doesn't work, make it disappear, you could have set the opacity for that zipper to 0 and none would be the wiser. I love the suit though
Easy Fix..
I did exagerate with Open 3.. that should open only the chest and torso/belly a bit.
