I recently updated my video card from a quadro fx 3700 to a GTX 570 to get faster RT performance. RT worked quite solidly on the quadro but was very slow since it was an older card. After updating to a GTX 570 the same scenes crash all the time. I've tried many different geforce drivers and settled on the 290.36 beta since the others I tested wouldn't even load the scene. The crash seems to be related to certain high-res maps, when I do a material overide with a material with a low-res map (1200 x 800) RT can handle it, but some of the materials have 3000 x 3000 png maps and if I use those in the scene it crashes. Other maps may crash it too, but I tested those one's and they definitely cause a crash. I have the GPU map size in RT set to 512, but I also tested 128 and still crashes. I thought the GPU map setting would resample maps down to that resolution so they could fit into vRAM on the card, but maybe I don't understand the setting. Is there some way to get around this? Is there another geforce driver that would be more stable or not have this problem?
