Six months ago I got the Nvidea Studio driver.....Render memory improved...(More render quality...Less Black Screen)....
As the months go by....I get less and less in my renders and more black screen....
Now I can't render a simple scene at 100 max sample...3 mesh res...quality level 1 with 1 genesis 9...some base background and volume filled sphere.
I purge the memory often...after every scene change...It just gets worse and worse....
I optimized the Nvidea settings for DAZ...got better for awhile......back to [problems] in a few weeks.

So the same driver or is it getting updated? The latest driver(s) have definitely been causing problems.
Hi Richard, I'd just like to report that the latest drivers seem to be working with whatever iteration of Iray came with 4.22. As you might have seen, I reverted back to 4.22 and now have no issues with my renders.
Iray on 4.23 was a nightmare to use (slowdowns, freezes - all during full renders) even when reverting to NVIDIA Studio Driver 561.
Hope this helps your team out.
So it wasn't only me. I think I got on top of the problem by not updating but fresh installing the drivers.
I'll fresh install the drivers and see if it helps.
installed fresh Nvidia Studio driver...1/23 release date.....re-installed DazStudio
Iray does not work at all now....even with no character loaded....completely dead.
update.....re-installed latest Nvidia Studio driver....
Preview performs like a racecar now......new scenes and characters render fast....EXCEPT....
It locks up when ever I try to render something from my Library scenes....no scene from MY Library will render.....the preview is there..but as soonas I try to render something from My Library....it locks up and preview wont even work.
If you still have a copy of DS 4.22, see if the latest NVIDIA drivers work with that version of Iray. I have to revert back to 4.22 to get my scenes to render.
Try increasing the virtual memory/paging file on the hard drive.
