Preview Rendering takes forever

ok made another test, just in case
Can you tell me if in the 1st part the GPU is not used again?
I made 3 sections
1= GPU+ CPU
2 = GPU
3= GPU + CPU with Iclone Added to the control panel from Nvidia under Manage 3D settings.
I didn't see any improvement, but looks like the log is different.

The only other thing I can think of is your texture compression. Is it set to "none"? Me, I have it on medium. Also check how big the texture sizes you allow in your project settings. Other than that, I don't have a clue. https://www.artstation.com/pascalcomics https://www.renderosity.com/users/Pascal_Comics/gallery https://www.deviantart.com/pascalcomics/gallery

It seems to confirm my suspicion that you're rendering on your CPU. Now the question is, "Why?" I don't know, yet. There is probably an Nvidia setting somewhere that can enable your GTX 1070 for Iray, or make it the default, or something like that. I'm not sure where exactly that is. I totally missed this post. That is a good question, I do see the GPU running up to 7.5 Gb. but the logs tells me otherwise. Maybe a staf Member can answer this one. I checked the settings, and I don't see anything. Are there other 1070 users out there? I know Kai used a 1080.. Maybe he knows, if he is watching this :)

Other than that, I don't have a clue. I tried Max / Medium None. Tried 2048 x 2048, 1024x1024, 512x512 It makes all no difference. I just commented to another post (see above) that might explain why it's not working for me.

Try changing the mode to 'Interactive' and see if it improves.

If I look at Kai's video, it takes seconde with a 1080 card. I cannot get it that fast as in the video.. I almost want to ask for project or how someone else has all the setting for iclone and iray.
