Is this a Game issue only on the RTX Cards?

 
Moved to Gaming.

On what Driver is it crashing under?
Is this with SLI Enable or without SLI Enabled?

BF5 worked fine with last nvidia driver .35.  But at about the same time BF5 had their update, or at least I had loaded them up fairly close together and that is when BF5 (and only BF5) started crashing.
 
I went back to .35 but BF5 would crash when before it did not which leads me to believe it was BF5 update that isn't working well with the nvidia driver.
 
 
Single Evga 2080 XC card.
 
I'm out of town for three days so i'm in silent mode for now.
 
 

Did you test BF5 with the current driver 417.71 or 417.35?
 
The past two BF5 updates have seemed to affected some systems starting back last November. The most recent BF5 has caused the same issue on a new batch of systems.

Another 20GB update today.

Yep, and unfortunately it still crashes.

Still not seeing any issues with a single card or in SLI mode.

I played for about 15 minutes last night with 417.71 on my RTX 2080 XC Gaming.  No crashing.

I finally had time to reinstall 417.01 can say BF5 now works great again. So the question would be, is it BF5 programming or Nvidia drivers?
 
Would still like to know if 417.71 or .35 would fail on your system. Might prove informative.

I guess I could test this for you although I do not see the point installing a know bad Driver.
Driver 417.01 so far has been the Best RTX Driver to date.
I will post pack latter today. This is the Rig I using View System
 
Please Post your Hardware and your Game Settings so that I can at least match your Game Settings.

My son played last night on a single Evga 2080Ti Black and no issues for over a hour. 

And what version nvidia driver are you running?

Well that is what I've been trying to figure out for sometime now. Was it the Origin or Nvidia drivers causing the issue. I think we now know it appears to be the nvidia drivers which would make sense since a nvidia driver was crashing then recovering over a period of three seconds but resulted in BF5 program crashing.
 
I wasn't sure of this which is why I thought your testing the nvidia drivers might nail down the problem. But I agree, no need as it seems to be Nvidia causing the issue since November 2018.

I see the same under Driver 417.71 that is no issues and runs at the same 2055MHz as before.
I played for about 45 minutes, sorry I could not be more helpful.

I seem to have spoke too soon. Driver 417.01 worked until I closed out, restarted and played a bit more. Then it started crashing again.
 
I figured I'd try 417.71 again and played for a while with no crashes. I'll wait and see tomorrow however before claiming success again. I did delete Origin cache and other folders first before he download so maybe I'll hit the right combination this time.

Issue finally resolved and all it took was a new card.

Just installed the step-up with a 2080 TI “XC” and no more crashes. The old standby 980 TI also worked flawlessly so I believe it is a nvidia update that caused all the problems with the 2080 XC that was installed at the time of the driver update. Since the only game using RT is bf5 and having all the issues while all other games continued to work fine, it has to have been a nvidia driver corrupting the RTers.

Question now is who takes blame for making your card unusable for any RT games and what will be the remedy?
