Crashing with RTX on ONLY

You really do seem to have all my problems but you're on a system like I just upgraded to...

I agree with you that your 650W should be enough (at the very least enough on my old CPU & a 2080 vanilla), but just for the record (for anyone) I went from a 650W PSU to 850W for this upgrade. But it's the only thing I can think of right now.

Wild idea, but what if 2080* power spikes when switching between RTX & rasterization sometimes?

That's possible, the tech is new so I expect the drivers and directX translations are having a tough time especially if a cpu is not up to scratch...

DXR seems to be like a new car not test driven enough at the moment.  Also devs are finding out how the tech works in-game on peoples rigs for the first time outside of QA/QT.

Well, I monitored with HWmonitor and I haven't seen any strange behaviour including power consumption. And I could be wrong but strict power limits on the 2080(TI)'s should prevent something like this. Besides that 650W is the recommendation from nVidia for these cards. tbqh, if you are not running SLI 500W should be more than enough. I have never seen more real power draw on a single card system (and I had systems with AMD cards that are drawing a LOT more than modern nVidia cards). 

I think game's just buggy. I mean look at this forum and the posts with crashing problems. 

I will say that some hardware reviewers found 650W to be sufficient for the 2080Ti, except in cases where excessive extra loads were added, such as VR, with some PSUs (I believe a EVGA 650W would probably be just sufficient).

Note however that the i9-9900k is also an unusually power consuming chip.

Not saying that's the problem, but I would bet that 500W would fail most of the time with a 2080Ti.

just saying, I have no problems with VR games 🙂 and I supersample a lot in them.

*Apologies in advance*

To be honest, a lot of the problems people on this forum seem to be experiencing is down to the PC environment - not everyone has their PC's setup correctly/or maintained well enough.  (New GPU's will always throw up occasional problems when the tech/architecture is new)

Running a 750 Watt PSU (Corsair Builder?) / ROG Strix Gaming H Mobo / GTX1080 / i7 8700k / 16Gb ram / M.2 970 Pro + multiple other drives. Windows 1809, and all the latest drivers chipset updates and Bios revisions. Water cooled using EKWB custom parts (only aluminium setup I know off). Riing thermaltake fans aswell as static case fans for extra airflow.

I have zero problems with the game, PC runs fantastic.  It helps I work in IT I suppose.

It really is down to the environment.

(again apologies if the above sounds narcissistic in anyway)

well yeah, it sound a bit like "you did it wrong dummy!".

I'm 40 years old, am building my PCs since I'm 13, worked in IT (and not the helpdesk) and every other piece of software I tried in the last 3 weeks runs smoothly on this PC as does the system in general. Power draw is fine, cpu temps are in the 20s idle and in the higher 40s on load.

I'm happy for you that the game works great for you but this thread is about a problem with RTX on and your card doesn't support that. In that sense I guess you are right, It is (or better, may be) down to the environment. 

btw your PSU is overdimensioned for your system (or you have 2 of those 1080s in there).

Skylake i5 6600k with a brand new 2 day old Asus Strix 2060 and yes the power at 650, memory no problem there 16gb all are running on ssd. Whith RTX ON wants i deploy in the multiplayer map the game freezes. I dont know what to do.

This sounds exactly like the problem I had too... (which I only fixed unfortunately by building a whole new PC)

So far I have not heard any report from someone with a i5 6600k that DIDN'T have crashing (but I won't assume they don't exist, but it's something we need to find out about!)

System 100% stable without rtx and all other games, was 100% stable before the patch but crashes every 5 minutes or instantly after. Repaired game, tried a couple drivers latest and rolled back. Can't even launch the game to disable it.
