Missing Polygons

I've been away from DAZ for a while and recently started using it again. (took me forever to become familiar with my runtimes again - I can't find anything :^( )
I upgraded to the latest version of Studio and now when I load Genesis there are missing polygons on the OpenGL display. I don't remember this happening in the past. The models export and render fine so it is only a display problem but still...
I'm using an NVidia Quadro FX3800 card so that can't be the problem.
Has there been a change to the base models that I need to upgrade? I get the same problem with V5 and any other character, although the missing polygons change depending on the character and morphs. I don't use Gen4 so I can't say if it happens with those models.
Any help would be appreciated.
I've attached a picture of an example. This is just the base Genesis with the basic female applied.

    Can you go to (in DS) Help > Troubleshooting > About Your Video Card and post what it says? It may be you have an old driver.

    The video driver should be fine. Do you have a texture applied? It could just be the usual OpenGL problem with multiple transmaps.

    That is a known driver issue with Quadro cards...if the newest drivers don't fix it, then the other common thing that causes it is bad video memory (on the card...)
