2020 Crashes with RTX 2060 - Fatal Error?

[samunawa]

Hi there.

I recently purchased a nVida RTX 2060 after my old graphics card was becoming problematic with Maya (VEGA 56).

After downloading and applying the studio drivers, I went to render my Maya scene with GPU and Maya freezes and then crashes and gives me this error message:

[gpu] an error happened during rendering : Invalid value
signal caught: error C0000005 -- access violation

I've reinstalled Maya 2020 and updated Arnold but it still freezes the program and crashes.

What driver and arnold version are you using? If you're not on the latest arnold (6.0.3 at the moment), try that to see if it's a bug that has already been fixed.

If you try with a simple scene does it work (maybe you're running out of gpu memory)?
