Unresponsive Frame buffer / Flickering whilst rendering

Hi All, just a bit of context- I recently switched jobs and the company has bought a new machine upon my spec request (altho instead of going with the supplier I asked for they went else where)…

I have noticed issues whilst rendering, sometimes (and not all the time) the frame buffer will hang, looking at the task manager I can see the CPU usage still in affect, however it doesn’t always complete, it just stays frozen. Sometimes this also ‘flickers’ very fast and is unstoppable.

I have checked to see if BIOS is up to date, which it is. I have done the same with the GPU drivers. has anyone experienced anything like this before, and if so have you resolved it?

thanks everyone, this is very frustrating for me!

Sigh…apologies, I created the topic in the wrong area!

Which 3ds Max version?

Best regards,
Vlado

That used to happen to me as well on some scenes with my old video card when I first started testing RT (GTX 780 + Max2017), it stopped when I switched to the GTX 1080Ti…
