Hi everynone,

I am new to octane render in Daz Studio (and DAZ only for a few month) . I am using the 4.8 and the last pluggin v2.2.223.4850.

I have a TITAN X graphic card and also a GTX 670. After cross test I removed the 780 as it appear the issue is with the TitanX only.

Since the beginning, I noticed the following error message in System tab of octane pluggin: " One or more GPU(s) don't occupy the highest Power State (possible degradation)! "

It is really hard to determine what start this but it looks like it start as soon as I open viewport whatever is the resolution of the preview.
In my test it stops one achieved the 500Sp in the preview, if I rotate and it start updating it begin again.
I note a global slow down if I switch to the present forum post, the characters are slow to appears while taping text (like lag) and it came back normal as soon as it reach the 500sp.
BUT know, the rror continue every 3sec.

I have tested all I can on hardware side, checking power issue but nothing shows up. I have NO issue in any game I am running too or benchmark, the card is working like a charm.
I cannot be sure that I have the best perf in DAZ or octane render pluggin especially for view port wit hmy titanX and that angry me a bit ;-)

If anyone has any idea I take it with pleasure

PS: Attached are 4 screenshots of basic step to get the message...

Thanks for reading.

Emmanuel

I have two Titans X and have similar problem. When only the one not managing the connected monitors is enabled in the OcDS the error does not show up. After I add the 2nd Titan to rendering these errors start show up. Personally I did not notice any ill effects of that, except for the log spam. I did not find any info about it anywhere else, so I simply ignore it for now :)

Before the Xs I did have a classic Titan and GTX 780 Ti and those ran without problems. So I guess it is probably Titan X specific...

Thanks for your feedback, I feel a bit less lonely ;-)
I didn't really notice a ill effect too, but I lack perf reference to be sure it is running at the top it should.
Will try to investigate more anyway as I don't like continuous logs :-)

Check your power management setting in the NVIDIA control panel. Sometimes it resets to adaptive after driver updates.

Thanks for the tip. I was not aware of it and it was set to adaptive. good to know.!
Anyway full power option does not change the behaviour and error persist.

Yep, switching to full power has no impact on the message in the OcDS plugin.

hi,
the plugin is detecting that you have a GPU used for both display and rendering, so is giving an alert.
Please, try to slightly reduce the "Performance throttle" in the system tab until the message disappear.
ciao beppe
