Shutdowns When Using Denoiser (RTX?) Tweet

[Lewis]

Hi Lewis,
ok, but if sometimes it works, and sometimes is not, it means that it is not reproducible, and impossible to be fixed.
Could you try to connect an external PSU to one GPU only for some time, just to be sure that your PSU is not the issue?

I have 3 machines as i said so can't be that all PSUs are bad. Also my PSU is pretty new (less than 2 years for 1600Axi, 3 years for 1500AXi and warranty for thaose Titanium series is 10 years).
Yes problem is random, even when it crashes it's still random , sometime it renders 10 frames sometime 50 , sometime 70, no real case to report. If there was way to report it i'd be all over it reporting it already .

My worakround is not use Denoiser , I do not have more time to wait for Crashes/shutdowns/restarts, i have to do some real client work istead wating for reboots and changing parts in workstation/renderslaves .

Thanks for help, i understand DEVs can't fix it if they can't replicate but i just wanted to share my experience 'coz as you see there is several of people reported having those problems with Octane denoiser/RTX so it's not just one of or hardware issue.

I was going to try that. Saw a youtube clip of a guy doing it and he used a paperclip to short a couple of connections on the PSU.
Does that sound right?

Or better off with this...

Rik, Yes rather buy that spliter if you want to use dual PSUs (i had 1250+650W with spliter for 2 years). But be sure to buy good quality PSU spliter 'coz those wires can get hot so you can get melted connectors/plastic if connection is loose/not god quality and firmly fitting.

Someone said that not to use denoiser on GPU connected to monitor.

I have the same problem, 2 RTX 2080Ti connected together and I have always a shutdown when using the denoiser on octane (2020.1.2) - Cinema 4D R21.
Any solution please?
Thanks

Can you check your memory usage spike? I`m on 8GB and can only render mid-res with denoiser on..

Planning to upgrade to 16GB

Hi,
if you are having issues with memory, you can have a CUDA error 2 or similar, but not a shutdown.
Please check the PSU, and give more power to your GPUs.
