Render crash on Nvidia GPUs but works on Amd GPUs

Post by SIRIO DEPERO »

Hi, I've a problem to render a scene on my new pc, that didn't exsist on my older one and I can't figure it out why.
When I try to render the scene below, blender istantly crashes.

Everything worked sucessfully on two GPU AMD 580 rx, but not now on two Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070.
End of the log:
Error : Unrecognized Exception
Address : 0x00007FF932D3A839
Module : C:\WINDOWS\System32\KERNELBASE.dll

I noticed the problem is with the windows. I tried to change some settings, but I don't think I fixed the problem.
Window material is a glass material with a homogeneous volume node. If I change homogeneous volume with a clear volume node, then render starts. The same happens if I deleted all the area lights behind the windows (maybe are too many).

So I'd like to understand what's causing the problem and why it wasn't there on Amd GPUs.

Sometime, Windows Update breaks NVIDIA OpenCL driver installation. It is something we have seen to happen in the past. Can you try to re-install NVIDIA drivers ?

I installed Nvidia drivers two days ago, when the pc was delivered to me, but I can re-install them to make sure they work properly.

Does it also crash with v2.3?
