Vantage issues with Drivers and Memory

[craig_williams]

I am having a number of issues with Chaos Vantage, firstly it only works with an outdated NVIDIA Driver (457.09) I have the most up to date driver which is 461.72 so an error appears every time I start up Vantage. I have recently started using assets from Chaos Cosmos and this appears to have caused issues exporting materials from Sketchup, materials have gone in vantage where they worked prior to adding the assets. I am also getting an error about not enough GPU memory, I am using a RTX 2070 super with 16GB. Many of these issues have started since I updated to version 1.0.2 of Vantage, can anyone help as I am not getting anything from Chaos support apart from an automated email that they received my request.

Hi

There are issues with the latest generation NVidia drivers and this is why we don't officially support them. Some textures render wrong with them. We're in close communication with NVidia and we expect the issue to be resolved in one of the next driver releases.

The issue with Cosmos materials was also discussed recently in another thread. Cosmos uses a new texture format that Vantage 1.0.2 didn't support. The next Vantage update will come within days and it will support these textures and it will have Cosmos integration as well.

Can you share more details about your memory issues? I don't remember any significant changes in 1.0.2 that would greatly affect memory use.

The bug we reported to nVidia in the 46x.xx drivers has been fixed in the 461.72 driver.
I've ran our tests on it (on an RTX 3080 FE, we haven't tested previous generation GPUs yet) and it seems to be working just fine.
You should be safe to use it. We will remove the error message in the next couple of days.
