Empty viewport renders

Hi, I just bought a new GPU.
I went from an Asus 1060 to an Asus 3060 ROG STRIX OC 12GB RTX.
Of course I was curious about my render speeds when I got this installed, so I opened up DAZ, threw some characters in and hit Render.
Progress window pops up, says:
Rendering in NVIDIA IRAY
Compiling shaders - 0/1
Rendering Image
A few seconds go by, and rendering is finished with a blank window.

Whats wrong here? I just did a benchmark on my GPU and got a great score, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with the hardware.
I updated the drivers after I installed it, and everything else works fine, although I did try A.I. Upscale and the two videos I tested came out completly useless with just a bunch of colors.

I have checked some settings, says to render from Active View Port and that GPU should handle rendering.

Any ideas?

    The log (Help->Troubleshooting->View Log File) is the first place to look for clues, what does it say? (Attach the log to your post)

    Except for a bunch of "Could not find output property for formula", I did find this:
    "[ERROR] - IRAY:RENDER ::   1.0   IRAY   rend error: Cannot render: found no usable devices."

    Thats a bit worrying... indecision

    You are using DS 4.12.1.118... Ampere support (your card) was added to 4.14.0.8, you drivers are fine, but your DS is too old for that card.
