DAZ 4.10, something wrong with Iray viewport?

Hi there :-)
Somehow i get the feeling there is something wrong with the way Daz 4.1 handles the iray viewport.
Back in the older versions i could hit the render button and pause render ... the usual way ... start after this a fast loading iray preview in the viewport.
However ... since i updated to 4.10 i have the feeling that the iray viewport render adds to gfx memory consumption.
Lets say i have a 7gb scene (11gb memory avaiable) it starts like it always did the iray render ... but when i try to switch the viewport to iray it switches to cpu back ...
Did somebody observe this too?
Thanks :-D
