Recent weird behavior with DazStudio 4.23

I did a fresh format of my computer a few weeks ago and after reinstalling DAZ Studio 4.23, I've been getting the issue where the app will "squish" itself whenever its loading any asset or saved files. The application window cuts in half and hangs on load longer than it ever did before

 

In general, performance is notably worse in terms of asset loading and rendering times than I've previously seen. Single actor scenes are massively slowing down.

 

Windows 10

Intel i7 4.0 Ghz 12 core

64gb physical ram

120gb page file

nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

everything running off of a SSD

    Does your CPU (the Intel) have its own GPU? Are you sure Daz Studio is using the nVidia for its screen drawing if so?

    Someone else had a very similar issue, I can't recall if they fixed it or if it was really a choice of GPU issue.

    I appreciate you responding!

     

    I think there is an onboard GPU; I'm not sure how to change between the nVidia and that in regards to the viewport/draw settings. I scrolled through the various Draw Setting options in the Advanced Tab and don't see any way to pick a different rendering engine. I primarily work in Texture Shaded or Filament and only swap to NVIDIA IRAY to check small things.

     

    Part of the weird behavior isn't even related to loading/slow load of assets. If I change a parameter (such as bending the neck) I can observe the bending in real time, as we always have been, but when I release the slider Daz Studio hangs and the screen squishes. It can last from anywhere between 10 to 40 seconds. It's dramatically slowing down any kind of work.

    The GPU used is not a DS setting but an OS/driver setting - right-click on the Desktop>nVidia Control panel and it should be in there soemwhere (you may need GeForce experience rather than nVidia Control Panel if you installed that).

    Thank you for clarifying, I'll give this a look! I appreciate the information.

     

    Unfortunetly I do think this is a broader issue with my PC. I noticed some odd stuttering well playing two different games and some delays well typing. So it looks like a new computer is in my future.

    I have the exact same issues, so don't throw out your computer just yet (it may be because of recent nvidia drivers, windows updates, etc).

    I don't remember getting that just after updating to 4.23 so i am not sure what may have triggered it. I don't see anything relevant within the log.
