Well Daz inc is already tied into the NVIDIA framework& eco system with IRay so it is not surprising that NVIDIA RTX would come to Daz studio.

^^^ This, precisely. You have to have the support built-in first, and DS has had it since 4.10(?) You also have to have a specific nvidia driver installed for it as well (And your GPU has to be new enough support it, and...) Pretty sure Poser ain't got that quite yet, since RTX is only what, a year old or so at most? (I honestly don't know, but it most likely is newer than the last patchset for Poser 11...)

By the way - anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but before now, IIRC you could not use both GPU and CPU at the same time in iRay - if the render was too big for your GPU card RAM, it kicked to CPU (I disabled CPU rendering entirely in 4.10 and earlier, so it wouldn't throw a rude surprise at me and shove my 'puter to molasses-speed CPU rendering). I've only been able to barely pop DS 4.11 open since I installed it; I might have time Wednesday to really give it a real test, though.

Anyrate, sailing way off-topic here... no idea if Poser has RTX support, or even if it would need it?
