But you miss a few major problems - First DAZ doesn't run native under Linux. It's a pain in the butt to get it running in Linux and second Linux does not solve the problem with the VRAM. The graphic will always take the same space in the VRAM and VRAM is limited. It's not like the system RAM that you can expand. You can only have more VRAM with another GPU - for example there were versions of the RTX 3060 with 8GB and the same card exist with 12GB. You will have less memory problems when rendering with the 12GB version. And it won't matter if the computer your GPU is plugged in has 16GB RAM or 128GB RAM - if a render does not fit in the VRAM of the GPU it will be slow. As far as I know the standard Nvidia card with the most VRAM you can buy is a RTX 4090 with 32GB VRAM. The new RTX 5090 have only 24GB. You can have have some Chinese 'tuned' 5090 cards with 48GB, but those are as far as I know standard 5090 without warranty were somebody removed the ram chips and soldered bigger ram chips on the cards.....---------------
The other possible solution available, but it's up to the Dev overall, would be to install and use Linux OS - Ubuntu Studio, which blows away any version of Windows or Mac OS when it comes to core and robust performance. The way this could be done: If the Dev uses and depends on Windows 10/11 OS, the Dev can simply install Linux OS - Ubuntu Studio along side .....
