RTX 3080 Having BSOD Video Memory Internal Management When Hitting The 10GB VRAM during after Effects Work

I'm having constant issue with my RTX 3080 hitting the 10GB VRAM limit & getting BSOD Video Memory Internal Management.

Whenever I'm doing work at After Effects, the VRAM spike up to 5GB which is normal. But when rendering the scenes in Adobe Media Encoder, the VRAM seldom jumps up another 4GB, totalling 9GB VRAM. But sometimes Media Encoder even consume another 6GB which makes it beyond the 10GB limit.

Is this even nomal? It seems like the GPU is having a memory leak?
Is it more like Hardware issue? Or more like Driver / Adobe software issue?

I checked the Task Manager & my system has 10GB Dedicated GPU Memory + 74GB Shared GPU Memory.
CMIIW but if the system maxed out the Dedicated GPU Memory, it will use the Shared GPU Memory instead?

My specs are:
Windows 10 22H2
5900X
128GB DDR4
RTX 3080 10GB
Nvidia Studio Driver 517.40
CoolerMaster V750 SFX PSU

I'm seriously considering to upgrade to RTX 3090 with 24GB VRAM to mitigate this BSOD issue.
But I wonder if it's not really related to GPU issue but more on driver/software issue instead?

    What's your PSU? How's cooling?

      Just ran the test, no errors.

        Sounds like a software issue, then. Maybe have a search to see if you can manually configure GPU memory limits or see if anyone else has similar issues to you.

    Temps GPU and CPU?

    • virsagomk2 on 04/10/2022 - 11:49

      GPU temp at around 73C during succesful render.
      CPU temp at around 70C during work.

        Thats pretty good

        Possible memory leak with the Adobe software(?)

        • virsagomk2 on 04/10/2022 - 12:07

          That's what I thought too.

          I just tested rendering the same work in my laptop with RTX 3060 & 6GB VRAM, it also produced the same BSOD when rendering using Adobe Media Encoder.

          I guess it is indeed an issue with Adobe software?

            @virsagomk2: If you have alternative encoding software give that a go, if it works then you've isolated the issue.

    Looks like not enough vram for your use case.

  • Zorololo on 04/10/2022 - 12:29

    Have you checked if there a Ram/memory preference that lets you set a ram limit?

  • skid on 04/10/2022 - 15:57

    BSOD usually points to a driver issue. Bad news is that I find that these sorts of driver bugs do not tend to get fixed in later driver versions. If you know the 24GB VRAM will fix this BSOD, I'd cough up as it could be a very long wait otherwise.

    RMA the card. You have decent specs and updated software. Don't waste your time diagnosing.

      OP reproduced the BSOD on a different card. It's not hardware.

    These are two open-source VRAM testers you could try:[MemtestG80 and MemtestCL] (https://simtk.org/projects/memtest)

    (Definitely) crap Adobe software interacting with (likely) crap NVIDIA drivers - first link talks about downgrading drivers to make rendering work, second link explains all the steps tried for the crashes to still occur:

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-media-encoder-discussio…

    Drop back to software decoding and rendering to confirm that it is an interaction between AE and the NVIDIA drivers:

      Thanks so much for these articles. Now I can rest a bit easier knowning that it's just typical crappy Adobe software issue & my GPU isn't defective.
