Newly installed Omniverse Create is not rendering samples at all?

I installed the apps, drive, kit, cache and create, and setup collaboration so I could download the NVIDIA samples as shown in this tutorial: Omniverse Create - Lighting Basics | NVIDIA On-Demand, but every sample that I open including Astronaut and Marbles comes up blank, no rendering. They do render in usdview on the same machine. Is there some other setup step I’m missing?

This is what I see screenshot

Looks like you are using a GTX1080 which unfortunately is below the minspec. You need to have an RTX GPU, and at least an RTX2080 is recommended.
