I have two different machines that I've been running VAM on:
Machine #1 crashes frequently when loading scenes or loading looks onto an already loaded person atom. By frequent, I mean about 75% of the time.
Machine #2 almost never crashes at all, but it doesn't perform very well. If I have a moderately complex scene loaded (2 people, detailed environment, reflections), I can't get much beyond 30fps on medium settings. It has the Core i7 vs the Core i5 in the other machine, but the Core i7 is two generations older than the Core i5.
I just ordered an RTX 2070S which will be going into machine #1. Machine #2 is small form factor and uses a compact GTX 1650 with a smaller than standard backplane, or I'd just throw it in there.
Is it really just a matter of Core i5 vs Core i7??? Why would the newer machine with the better GPU be having such a hard time being stable? All drivers are up to date. Machine #1 has always had this instability, ever since I started using VAM last year. Machine #2 has surprised me with its stability, especially since its an old HP EliteDesk 800 G1 from eBay. It's been a champ, but the VAM performance is just too slow.
CPU-Z / GPU-Z screenshots attached.
