Dual GPU Geforce GTX 1080 Constantly Crashing 1.4.2

[deadwilder]

Hello,

Ever since I installed a second GPU Geforce GTX 1080 on my PC, Photoscan 1.4.2 Pro has been constantly crashing. It will often crash when building meshes, building textures and aligning photos. Sometimes the software crashes and sometimes Windows does. \I have "Use CPU when performing GPU related processing" unticked.
 
I'm under the impression the crashes have to do with using two GPUs since the crashes seem to stop once I disable the second GPU in Photoscan.

I'm using Windows 10 educational, PC specs are: i7-7700k, 32gb ram, Consair water cooler, EVGA 850 G2. I'm not using Geforce Experience to update GPU drivers and I have the latest drivers installed. What could be causing the frequent crashes? Is there anything I can do to have Photoscan run smoothly with my 2 GPUs?

Hello deadwilder,

Is there any difference if you disable first or second GPU for processing?

Also are there any errors in the processing log (if you have enabled console output redirection to the external file) or there's nothing unusual?

Hi Alexey,

I spoke too soon when I said that disabling the second GPU solved the problem. It makes crashing less frequent, but it still happens. I didn't notice any difference if the first or second GPUs were selected.

There's nothing out of the ordinary in the log. The log just stops registering the process once the software crashes, but there is no error message.

I ran a couple of GPU stress tests this afternoon and both Furmark and Heaven ran for a long time without any problems. I also use both GPUs to render large Cinema 4D projects without getting any crashes.

Do you think I should try to use an earlier version of Photoscan?

Hello deadwilder,

I've sent you a diagnostics utility to test.

Also make sure that latest NVIDIA drivers are installed.

If the issue persists, please send the processing log and the diagnostics output to support@agisoft.com or via PM.

Good day,

I have a similar problem. Yesterday I installed a 1080Ti with the previous 970. Agi would not process using both cards:

It works when selecting each card individually, they wont work together.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Andre240,

Which GPU is used for the visualization in your case? Are you able to process the data using only one GPU at a time and whether it is valid for both cards?

I am having this same problem with a single Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080.
Win 10
Intel i7-4720HQ 2.6GHz
Photoscan Standard 1.4.3

I have installed the latest video drivers and a clean re-install of Win 10.

I have run old models which processed easily on the old GTX Geforce 970
