Daz and GPU

set77

So every so often, Daz just stops using my GPU to render there is nothing I can do other than reinstall the nvidia drivers to fix the issue. I am wondering if anyone else is having the same thing happen. I did notice today that a new game ready driver dropped but a driver being ready to update should not stop software from using the current one.

Hi, that usually happens when the GPU doesn't have enough VRAM for Daz Studio to fit the scene on it.

Yes, sometimes this happens for me, normally if I try to render multiple photos in a row without closing Daz Studio. It seems DS is not releasing the memory for previous renders, only closing DS releases it.

I don't see that behavior. As long as I don't have any render windows open, GPU VRAM will return to the pre-render value.

You shouldn't need to reinstall the drivers if it's running out of memory, at worst restarting Daz Studio should be enough.
