in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I am using 4.15.I have two figures that have clothing and hair,lights,and hdri background. I have a Geforce RTX 2060 card. It only freezes on two figures and not one. I have tried not letting Daz use CPU,Lowered priority through task manager, and nothing has worked yet. 

any help is appreciated!

    I'm not an expert in this and don't have 4.15. What I would ask is how much ram do you have and are you running anything else other then Daz.

     I have an old computer (15 yrs old) with 4 gigs of ram, when I run Daz it wants to use 4 gigs of ram but 2 have to be used for Windows to run, yet have not had my computer or Daz freeze on me. However, I have had Daz suddenly close on me right in the middle of things and I'm told it has to do with the fact I have so little ram. Now when I want to run Daz, I don't do anything else on the computer, especially during a render and it seems fine with that. I just go do something else.

    I have seen a lot of posts where people ask if you have the latest drivers for your graphics card, could be something to look into.

    I believe I have 6 gb. I did a fresh install of windows. Reinstalled updates, latest drivers. Only happens with two figures in the scene.

    what is your system ram? (not vram of  graphics card)

    i had 16gb of sys ram and Daz would always freeze my PC when i was doing a render that used ~10gb of vram.  I dont know why that is. once i added more sys ram it stopped freezing

    I think youre supposed to have a lot more sys ram than vram.

    you should use GPU-Z and see what is happening when you render.

    I have 16 gb.i managed to get the scene to render but only after I used scene optimizer to compress textures. I even tried to use cpu rendering like I used to before I got a nvidia card. It froze with that as well.

    A lot of people are having trouble using more then one model in a scene and one of the big reasons is what lilweep said, needing a lot fo system ram compared to vram. There's a thread about it on the commons section. Someon had 16 gigs vram and had 64 system ram...I could be remembering the numbers wrong.
