Vulkan Device Error, when GPU is stressed (Hackintosh)

Bugs
1

Hey, I am on
3,6 ghz i9 9900 8 core
32gb RAM
Vega 64 GPU

Big Sure, Hackintosh (Open Core)

I worked on a Node following mostly a Tutorial by Matthew Ragan and as soon the GPU needs to work my Hackintosh completly crashs. Including funny system wide graphic pattern. So I ask myself if it’s a Touch-specfic problem or if my graphic-card is broken.
Video from Crash

Blockquote The Vulkan Device has returned a fatal error code.
This usually happens if a GPU operation runs for too long or is stuck in an infinite loop.
If you are using GLSL TOP/MATs, check your code and try to simplify complex shaders.
Otherwise, please report this issue to support.
Exiting.

Well that’s brutal :sweat_smile:

What would happen if you run the same file, on the same hardware, not in MacOS ? Can you boot on Windows at all?

We can’t do much about those specific setups.

This could be caused by a driver bug and out of our control, especially in such a specific configuration.

I tested your file on Windows / Nvidia and everything is fine. The main issue is not the GPU being stressed here, it’s the CPU.

Also tested on a Mac Mini M1 where it runs surprisingly well.

Best,
Michel

Hey JetXS
thanks a lot for looking into it!
So far I don’t have a parallel windows-installation, but I will do so soon, to troubleshoot if it’s a a software (/hackintosh) or hardware problem.
