I was informed that the earlier 2080 ti had some serious issues.  Nvidia instructed me to contact the card manufacturer and ask for an exchange since the card was still under warranty.

 I snagged a 3070 for $1300 on Amazon since I didn’t want to be down for 4 to 6 weeks waiting for the new 2080ti.

 You might want to contact nvidia and/or your card manufacturer and tell them your situation 

Buck, I was getting the same error message.  In my case the 2080ti graphics card was bad.

sounds and looks like GPU Artifacting to me especially the "Green" fireflies , don't let MSI off the hook that 2080Ti is still a valuable Card, get that RMA setup....I am surprised they don't have an Advance RMA though.( you provide CC for a cross-ship and they put a Hold on)

Cross-ship is what I wanted from Cyberpower until I found out, due to shortage of cards, might be 4 to 6 weeks out.  I was able to snag a 3070 so I will probably use the new 2080ti, whenever I get it, to upgrade my other computer… unless someone makes me an offer I can’t refuse on the 2080.

What brand card do you have?

 

Go to the manufacture's website and look for a firmware update for your card.

 

2080ti's had speed problems with the original bios on some cards.

 

They admitted to problems with early cards too.

 

Some were fixed with a video card firmware update.

 

This looks like the same problem some people had at launch of the 2080ti.

 

Hopefully it isn't your card failing.

 

EVGA GeForce RTX Ultra 2080Ti - screen artifacts and system crashes... - EVGA Forums

 

 

 

After contacting nvidia and showing them what was going on, they looked at the date of my graphic card and instructed me to contact msi for an exchange.  MSI suggested I contact Cyberpower, the people who put the computer together because they had a quicker exchange program than MSI and my computer wouldn’t be down for 4 to 6 weeks.

Cyberpower informs me that their exchange program warranty was only good for 12 months and I need to go back to the card manufacturer, MSI.

Anyway, I ended up buying a new EVGA rtx 3070 for $1200, which is scheduled to arrive next Tuesday.

UPDATE: Just checked and FedEx has my graphic card out for delivery today, Friday.  Thank you FedEx!

I don't know what to look at but here is what the screen shows when I went PBR on Chief... (screen shot on right)

The GPU load got as high as 98%.

One thing different now is Chief didn't crash after I turned the camera back to Standard mode but my second screen is still covered with green specks? (screen shot left)

Oh yeah, nvidea had another driver update this morning.

This all points to a driver issue to me, Have you done a complete driver delete and wipe?

Here one of the steps we have taken:

Boy! What an adventure…

Mark, I did the nvidia driver routine with tech support already.

 I am going to go back and check all the suggestions on here to make sure I didn’t overlook any.

Nowadays you also need to set in Windows Graphic Settings as I noted above.

I did this and now get pretty blue splotches...  Going to

Have you set the RTX to be used with X13?

Not sure what you mean.  (wouldn't tech support know about that?)

What about Vbios? Cooling? Are you running GPU-Z to see what is going on?

Strange thing is the PBR and ray tracing works fine on the new release of my other CAD program.

This is reply to Rene... not to get confused with multiple responses.  Thanks everyone

Yes, one of the first things I tried... in case a corrupt template was involved.

I wish I could copy and paste what tech had me do but not sure I can do it on the open forum.

You have a graphics card timeout issue. Have you updated your drivers?
You could do a reg key hack to circumvent the timeout issue, though of course no one would recommend that.
I've been encouraged not to point people in that direction.

thanks Rene!  Yes, geforce driver is the latest.  

Any idea what would cause the time-out issue?

Thanks for the help. Mark.

I feel like a child would who has been told he can't play with his new toy... only get to watch the other kids playing with the new toy.

I am wondering is anyone running X13 using an RTX2080ti?

I have tried several different things suggested by tech support and I also did a graphics card stress that says my graphics card is working fine.

Tech support is stumped.

I have been searching online for a RTX 3080 card to swap out the 2080 with but they appear to be eternally out of stock on the new 3080.

Here is what I am experiencing when I try to use a 3D view, just before Chief shuts down:

Anyone have a suggestion?

When I first started using chief, I would setup the drawing sheet under file-print command and then click on the drawing sheet icon to show me what my work area was.

On a new plan the 0,0 mark showed up in the center of the drawing sheet.

We always sheath raised heels... adds shear and keeps the blown insulation out of the soffits.

They run "ladders" below the bottom plate here. Rather ingenious idea to get a flat concrete wall

Can you post that wall detail, please?

hi,

 

I noticed that CA dimensions to the stud. In order to get the same dimensions for the foundation and the main floor CA offsets the sheathing such that it is proud of the foundation. (If you "build foundation" and then set the reference plan and zoom in you can see the sheathing is not on top of the foundation)

 

I realize it can also dimension to the finished wall, which would be the siding, but no one around here offsets the studs by both the sheathing and the siding

 

Framers around here align the sheathing to the outside of the foundation. So what this means is if the dimensions on the plan are stud to stud and match the foundation dimensions, then the framer has to "take out" 3/8" times 2 on an outside wall, and they need to take it from somewhere. I would assume they would take this out of the nearest room, or maybe at the end when they realize the dimensions do not match. This would be all fine and dandy as long as they did not take it out of a 5 by 8 bathroom, where the tub requires 60" to the framed wall. So is the framer knowledgeable enough to know, hey I need to take this 3/4" out of some other room?

 

Is this one of those things that no one actually states anywhere, but occurs everywhere, and framers are just cursing the designers, but not curse too much as they measure from the stud when they frame the wall? i.e. it would be easier for them to frame to whole inches for the most part, and simply leave the last room as it ends up being (assuming there is no bathroom problem)

 

I was thinking I have never seen plans where outside dimensions to the first inside wall are down to the 3/8". If people were to start dimensioning to the sheathing, it would then cause some pretty ugly dimensions

 

Thanks

 

 

 

How do you isolate your sheathing from being in contact with the concrete foundation?  What keeps the sheathing from absorbing moisture from the concrete and eventually rotting?

Can you place the door into a 2x6 wall and offset the door a couple inches to one side?
