Optix acceleration seems to be broke for me in 4.9

Whenever I try to use the optix option, I end up with this error
WARNING: dzneuraymgr.cpp(261): Iray ERROR - module:category(IRAY:RENDER): 1.3 IRAY rend error: OptiX Prime error (Device rtpModelUpdate TL): Unknown error
WARNING: dzneuraymgr.cpp(261): Iray ERROR - module:category(IRAY:RENDER): 1.2 IRAY rend error: CUDA device 0 (GeForce GTX 960): Scene setup failed

Iray INFO - module:category(IRAY:RENDER): 1.2 IRAY rend info : Falling back to CPU rendering.
Also, it won't listen when I tell it that I want to stop rendering, I have to use the task manager and make it quit when optix is enabled.

You're not alone with this problem. I have the same problem with my two GEforce GTX 980ti
Is your GPU driver updated?
