Daz Studio: Fix the memory leaks and make a more stable piece of software

Hi guys,
I spent $4000 on a new workstation with a Quadro P6000 with 24 gigs of vram, and it has 2 CPU's, ...and Daz Studio constantly crashes on simple scenes. I've tried all the tricks, processor affinity, you name it.
Please, please, please devote some development time to fixing the known issues with the memory leaks and poor stability. This is driving me away from this product.

Might want to post this in the technical help section . keep in mind that many users with less stellar systems run DS daily, myself included with no crashes so it's not a universal issue, only local.
Which version of DS? Which driver for the GPU? What are the other system specs?
The denoiser does increase the memory used on the GPU, and if you have a non-RTX card and formerly ran with OptiX Prime off then there will also be an increase in memory use from that (over the version of Iray in DS 4.11). However those should not crash DS, if memory runs out it should just drop to CPU (or stop rendering if you have the latest Public Build and turn off the option to fall back to CPU).
@Richard, interesting to know. I've got a RTX2070. The errors say OOM. I've submitted a few crash reports w/ stack dump, etc. I guess there's an issue with dropping to CPU since it's definitely not dropping to CPU, but crashing out instead. One thing is that this happens after a couple hours of rendering. It's never right away that the crash happens.
