Error when GPU rendering

[spencerrayfitch]

Simple scene - Getting this issue. Tried restarting 3ds max and sometimes it works and starts rendering, other times it throws the same error.

Dual 3090's are the cards

[23:56:14.408] Error : [VUtils::gpuMemset32] 700: CUDA memset failed

[23:56:14.470] Error : [MemoryManagerGpu::releaseUnmappedMemoryFromInstanc e] 700: Could not release device buffer

[23:56:15.916] Error : 33 error(s), 22 warning(s)

It repeats the same error 33 times?

Hi spencerrayfitch

I cannot reproduce this on my 2x 3090s, could you please try with my shaderball scene here
Does it crash from you?

What about the Benchmark tool?
Error 700 could be about many things, including drivers or hardware issues

Are you on the latest recommended driver 512.59?
Do you have NVlink enabled?

Switching from RTX to CUDA (hybrid or C++/CPU device only) can cause crashes occasionally. If you switch engines, switch the engine to the desired one, save the scene and exit MAX. If this is the cause, restarting MAX is supposed to resolve this crash until we hotfix it.

Thank you for the comments. I will investigate these fixes this morning.

I want to note that my other scenes with far more geo and textures etc render fine.

No NVLink, and ill check driver.

So I did this and it has seemed to resolve the issue at least for now.

Thank you for the shaderball scene! I will give this a try!

So i was rendering fine. Paused the render. Imported a model. The rendering stopped completely and when I tried to re-initialize the IPR - (Tried to upload the log as an attachment, wouldnt work)

I think I have found the issue.

I was working on another computer yesterday, and some of the modeling I did had a varied version of the chamfer modifier. I was getting a warning error in my home version of 3ds max and i kinda ignored it. Since it kept popping up, i decided to collapse all of them and run a "Missing Plugin" script. So far testing has seemed successful.

[spencerrayfitch]

Same issue happening.. Only way to fix it is to switch it to cuda, back to rtx, save the scene then close and reopen.

[spencerrayfitch]

Error is getting too cumbersome to work with on this project. Having to revert back to 2022 and vray 5 - Hope this gets resolved.Seems like this is stemming from the latest build as i didnt have any issues 2 weeks ago.

Thanks.

Does that combination work for you?

[spencerrayfitch]

Does that combination work for you?

Haven't had a problem since I reverted back. The scene has only gotten more complex also.

[Muhammed_Hamed]

We are looking into this now, if you swap engines in V-Ray 5 you might crash as well. It is more frequent if you use bucket mode

Best,
Muhammed

Thank you for the info.... Do you know when this will be resolved? Id love to continue my testing of Vray 6 as we will want to deploy this at our studio when its ready!
