Iray rendering issues

Until recently I had few or no problems using Iray for renders. However, now it crashes almost every time, most recently on a relatively simple render of Skyler for Genesis 3.
The error it's giving me is an 'out of memory' issue, almost as though it's trying to put the entire scene into graphics memory instead of using the RAM as well. The result is that the render just stops, and Daz Studio hangs as a result.
Has anyone encountered similar issues, and is there a simple solution to fix this?

Do you have D|S set up to fall back to using your CPU if the scene's too much for your graphics card? Go to Render Settings, click on the Advanced sub-tab, and check what you've got ticked under Hardware. If only your graphics card is selected, an out-of-memory render won't even try to switch to the CPU.
Yeah, it's set to use both. That's why I'm so confused about this issue.
