      My PC Specs:
      AMD Ryzen 1700 (8 core 16 thread)
      32GB RAM
      GTX 1070 8GB
      1TB W.D. Black
      Windows 10 Home.

      I'm using Sketchup trial (I have a bought copy as well of 2017), and bought copy of vray.

      I've been told to set vray in the options to use the gpu, I have set it, it shows in the vray render option (I have cpu or gpu 1070).

      When I actually render and I watch task manager my CPU completely maxes out, my ram completely maxes out yet the gpu has taken a florida vacation. Its not doing anything idles around 9% if that.

      I see people are saying that VRAY-RT is better for GPU rendering, I have read some unconfirmed information that vray-rt is now integrated with vray in the latest 2017 version so there isn't any more vray rt.

      Is there some sort of global settings file I can tell vray to specifically use:
      x cpu usage
      y gpu usage
      z gpu vram
      and set max ram allowed consumption.

      Or is there something else I should be doing?

        Are you using the latest version V Ray 3.6? ifso your answer is can be found here:

        you need to go to your settings tab and pick the GPU button then click on the 3 dots and look to see if your graphic card is showing up there , you can then pick its on or off. when on a check will show up next to name.
