Crashing with RTX on ONLY

I have pretty much the exact same specs and issue you are having. Just got my 2080 XC Ultra in yesterday and fired up BFV turned DX12 on with RayTracing and the game crashes almost instantly when I get in a multiplayer match. Its pretty ridiculous that I cant even see if the ray tracing is working on my card. Im thinking of buying Tomb Raider and seeing if the ray tracing works at all and then returning the game via Steam. 

Please keep me updated if you find anything that fixes this issue. Like I said we pretty much have the same PC spec-wise. 

Good to know I'm not alone on this forum! I've seen a few people crop up here and there with the issue.

Tomb Raider RTX patch isn't out yet. Futuremark's (I guess they're called UL now) 3dMark raytracing test will be out early next year. That'll be good for running looping, might be good to see if RTX is defective.

Right now I'm thinking it's probably a software issue, with a slight possibility it's chipset / CPU threads related.

@CElite do you know when the Tomb Raider RTX patch is coming out? I want to test my raytracing cores as well. Also what drive do you have BFV installed on, C: Drive or a different drive? I was thinking of trying to reinstall the game on my C: drive to see if that makes any difference in my case. Right now its installed on a secondary M.2 NVME drive and not the main C: drive. 

@machater81unfortunately nobody knows when the Tomb Raider RTX patch is coming. Some people are concerned it has been silently cancelled for whatever reason.

I do normally have my BFV installed on my C drive, for that very reason I did a complete uninstall and I installed it to a different SSD (my E: drive). None of my drives are NVME.

That is very interesting. Definitely seems to only affect Skylake PCs (also Intel 170 chipset).

Only partially related to this problem, but I will be building a new i9-9900k PC sometime this week but using the same GPU. That should be enough to prove that it is OS installation or 170/Skylake related.

It seems I hve the exact same problem, at least in single player (not tried multi yet). TBH I only bought the game because I wanted to see raytracing working. Everything you said about the single player crash applies to me. About half an hour, slow crash to desktop (you kinda can see the game struggling to keep alive). Until this point the performance seems to be ok. 

It is a 3 weeks old PC, new build, everything else is stable (various games, system in general):

specs: 

Asus Maximum XI Hero Z390

i9-9900k

32GB DDR4 3200

2080Ti FE on 417.22 (not tried 417.35 yet)

Game is on a 1TB 970 EVO M.2 nvme

650W DP Pro11 (yeah, that's more than enough, not running SLI)

Your solutions seems not to be applicable to my situation because it is a fresh install with brand new components.

When you installed, did you install Windows 10 starting at verison 1809, or did you install an earlier version (perhaps an old install disk / USB) and update it?

I made a new install stick with the ms media creation tool and that was 1809 at this point. So no, not an old and then updated version.

I just updated the nVidia drivers to 417.35 and tried multi player and that didn't crash (raytracing enabled). Single player still crashes after a while with these strange symptoms but I have the suspicion that  these kinda weird transitions from video to ingame (or ingame to video) are at least one part of the problem. The game is able to finish the transition but struggles soon after that (I think, everything is a bit muddy because those are really strange crashes).
