Dev log October #1

Hello,

Technically, this is the exact same post I posted on the SG Patreon except for some details + picture.

There was a problem with one of my GPUs.

It's officially a vegetable now.

I don't exactly know what happened because I was at the other PC at that point (Both PC's are on the same monitor) and I was rendering on PC#1 while working on PC #2.

It did happen before that the fans of my 1080Ti did suddenly stop and re-start after 4-8 seconds. (The GPU probably turned off and on) It was nothing unusual but it made Daz crash. (Still, this shouldn't be happening.)

Then the glitch stripes appeared two weeks ago but it was still rendering.

Now the fans turned off again and I obviously heard it and expected to just restart Daz but this time the entire PC was frozen. I had to use the power button to turn it off.
After this incident, every time I try to render, this here happens:

If I open an old save that I already rendered, the same happens. I created a new scene from scratch and it also happened.

I reinstalled Daz a few times. I deleted the GPU drivers and used different ones
I did put the GPU into another PCI-E slot but nothing works.

If I open this scene on PC#2 it works just fine. I did now put my old 1070Ti into PC#1 and it works but I cannot render with the 1070Ti because all my scenes exceed 8GB Vram.

Now I need a 3090 more than ever.
I would say it was almost a good timing for my old 1080Ti to turn into a vegetable but sadly 3090s are not in stock. I wish it would have lasted a month longer.

Long story short: We are one PC down right now. 

I was 95% done with all the new enviroments for WiAB Chapter 1 and bought some really good music for it.

Here is a test render of the MC's home before the GPU broke down. 

All the environments have a much higher quality and customization level.
But now I have to wait until either SG's update is done (It's at 85%) or I get lucky and get my hands on a 3090 in the near future.
