Crash on render

[AbnormalMatrix]

Blender crashes when rendering with the GPU. This happens in any blend file (including the default scene). CPU rendering works as expected.

Issue

The crash takes place in final and interactive render modes, viewport render mode, when rendering the scene, as well as with upscaling/denoising disabled.

Steps to Reproduce

This issue takes place in any blender scene as long as the GPU is selected.

System Setup (Environment)

Windows 11 Home 22621.963

My device is a laptop with: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics, NVIDIA RTX 3060 Laptop GPU (6GB VRAM), 16 GB RAM NVIDIA Studio Driver version 527.56 (it still crashes with game ready drivers)

Blender 3.4.1

Detailed Description

The console on Windows displays this when it crashes:

I was having the same issue on Pop OS 22.04 (same computer as above) but downgrading my Nvidia drivers to version 515.65.01 fixed it for the most part. I still have to disable viewport denoising and upscaling but other than that it appears to work. I tried the same fix on Windows 11 but it resulted in my computer getting stuck in a BSOD loop.

I have the same issue in blender 2.93

I have tested with RPR Blender addon Weekly Dev. builds: 3.5.5, 3.5.7 & 3.5.9 on Blender 3.3.6 LTS & 3.5.1 RCs Using nVidia's GPUs: GTX 1070 & Quadro M5000 (528.49 drivers) NOTE: before drivers upgrade in March 2023 (from 47X.XX), RPR worked well

[bsavery]

3,5,9 should fix it, See this issue. https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/RadeonProRenderBlenderAddon/issues/573

[kintuX]

Well, 3.5.9 still crashes, as noted (As soon as it calls for GPU; CPU starts fine). If it helps, here's also prime report from Win. Console while starting Blender :

update: (using latest RPR 3.5.16. w/ Blender 3.3.6. LTS on W10 OS) I found that NVidia's GPUs work only in 'Interactive mode' and that's when just a single unit is set. Otherwise, multiple GPUs don't work and 'Final mode' crashes (except when just CPU is used).

---

update 2 (RPR 3.5.19): nVidia GTX 1070 is back online & working fine. While Q5000 (~GTX 970) is only applicable in 'Interactive' mode. No crashes! 🙂

[alolalo]

Same here, but I'm running it on Blender 3.2.2 and 3.6, and in both cases ProRender does not work as advertized in combination with my rx580. The rendering in the viewport is slower than Eevee, and only using the CPU will make it render properly.

I hope that they will fix backwards compatibility with rx580 cards, as I was opting to get a 2nd card to make for better rendering as they are fairly cheap to get these days. But not having them supported by AMD themselves, is quite a bummer.

I did manage to get the render working on interactive, with the setting to accurate, but "final render" simply makes the aplication crash. So unless I am going to render, it's actually usefull unless they fix the buggy behavior on "older" graphics cards. \

It's frustrating because we've written the solution for older cards a few times. https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/RadeonProRenderBlenderAddon/issues/638#issuecomment-1623813770

[mhashaam26]

Hello , any update on this issue ? I have an Rx570 and still this issue persists. Blender 3.6 (also tried on 2.8 & 2.9 ) with pro Radeon 3.6.0. & Driver Version Amd pro 22.q4 .
