Yes X13 Premier, Physically Based Ray Trace. Also called Real Time Ray Tracing.

I'm finally getting results I'm not embarrassed to post. This one is 2,000 passes in 55 seconds. What do you think?

One suggestion, Perform a Clean Install of the Driver. A Clean Install will remove all the old NVIDIA drivers and software, then install the new ones. Download the Driver from NIDVIA, I chose Version 511.79 Game Ready Driver Open the Download . Agree and Continue until you get to Express vs Custom. Choose Custom (Advanced) > leave everything checked but also Check "Perform Clean Install". Reboot when it's done.

Is you GPU/graphics card Liquid Cooled?

Good moves on both counts.

This won't help with the lost files, but will prevent it in the future. Buy an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). A UPS is a 120 volt battery backup. I like APC This one, APC Back UPS 1500, Compact Tower, 1500VA, 120V, AVR, LCD, 10 NEMA outlets (5 surge) will do everything you need to continue printing, save and safely shut down the computer until the power comes back on. Depending on the load such as computers, printers, monitors, etc., you should be able to continue working for 30 minutes or more, maybe an hour. It's also an excellent surge arrestor. I have one on my office computer, one on the home computer and a small run for internet and network. After a few years, the battery will need replaced like any battery, but it's easy to do.

Since updating the NVIDIA 3080 Ti 12GB to the latest drivers, I have not had any crashes. It's been a least two weeks. Windows 11 Home.

It's been a week since I updated to Windows 11 and updated the NVIDIA 3080 Ti 12GB video card to driver 565.11 game ready version. No crashes. Everything is very stable. The computer is a month old. MSI Desktop Originally shipped with Windows 10 Home Intel i7-11700K processor NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 12GB 64GB DDR4 RAM Dual 27" Monitors = BenQ PD2705Q 2TB NVMe SSD 2TB HDD 6TB HDD

The good news is, I've had no crashes in my most recent project. Windows 11, X13 and the NVIDIA 3080 Ti 12GB with the latest driver. I completed and entire house including all doors, windows, cabinets, electrical, roof, complete project. No problems, very stable. I tried to make it crash in 3D and RTRT. I started fresh, creating new Templates and all Libraries downloaded new.

I updated to Windows 11 again, and this time, everything works. The newest NVIDIA driver seems to be the fix.

Day two and still no crashes. I opened an older drawing created on my Mac with templates from X12 and everything worked well in Windows 11. NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 Ti 12GB GDDR6X, NVIDIA driver = 511.65 gaming version. Keeping fingers crossed.

Try updating the NVIDIA driver to 511.65 https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/

I updated to Windows 11, then update the NVIDIA driver to 511.65 New MSI Desktop Intel® Core™ i9-12900K 3.2-5.2 GHz 30MB Cache NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 12GB GDDR6X 32GB DDR5 4800Mhz (16GB x 2) 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD 2TB 3.5" 7200 RPM HDD I started with the residential template in X13 Premier and drew the entire house, except cabinets. 90 minutes so far and no crashes. I tried to make it crash in standard 3D views and RTRT, but it's all good so far. Two weeks ago when I updated to Windows 11, it crashed constantly. I rolled back to Windows 10 but things are looking good now.

IN STOCK I just bought a similar model with 2 NVMe TB SSD and 3080 Ti 12 GB VRAM. Received it in about a week HERE is a more advance model with 3090 24GB

Wow, that's interesting since all the templates I use are custom and old, probably X11.

Just to be clear, Are you using Windows 11?

Joe, are you using Windows 11 and X13 now?

I have as Mac Pro that I bought in 2017, it's the trash can style. It's been extremely staple and fast.

I have dual 27" monitors. I keep plan view on one and my Library and Display options on the other. I also use the second monitor for 3D views

I've been an electrical contractor since 1985. Over the years I've had people try to use me for information, codes, design and then try to do it themselves. Some never intended to have me do any work. There is no way I would give up files without full compensation for your work to date.

I looked up Nahimic Service, It is an audio enhancement software. Not sure why Chief would be affected but I'll try anything. Hopefully this works. I don't have any problems with Windows 10 and X13 Premier

I tried Windows 11 in a brand new PC with NVIDIA 3080 Ti 12GB VRAM and it crashed constantly in 3D views. I went back to Windows 10

Go back to page 0. If anything has been added to pages 1 thru 14, they will count toward the total. If you want something to show on all pages, add it to page 0.

Yes Multiple, Thanks that worked

When I go to: View > Active Layer Display Options, nothing happens. If I go to: Tools > Layer Settings > Display Options, then it shows but I have to click OK or Cancel to move on. New PC, new installation of X13,
