Attempting to do pbr raytracing, but keep getting a device lost error

Been playing around with PBR ray tracing again, and having some crashing problems.

When do the irradiance reflection alone, it works fine.
When I’m doing the specular reflection alone, it works fine.
When I try both at the same time it crashes.

It’s a device lost error. I’ve confirmed that it’s running all the way through the shader, printing out the red value. I’m running a 3080 ti, and MaxReflectCount is set to 5. rnd is from https://github.com/nvpro-samples/vk_raytracing_tutorial_KHR/blob/master/ray_tracing_jitter_cam/shaders/random.glsl.

Is there something I’m missing, or something that you guys can that’s making it crash?

Note that any driver/OS reserves the right to kill your GPU access if your shader takes too long to execute or otherwise behaves pathologically. How long that is varies, and I don’t know exactly how that interacts with ray tracing. But I image there’s a soft limit on how much recursive ray tracing you can do before the system decides that your process is behaving pathologically.

If both your irradiance reflection and specular reflection operations are generating more rays, doing both will generate moreXmore rays. That could easily cross some boundary condition. If they’re generating rays, try to reduce the number that they generate.

Tried reducing the reflections to one each one.
And tried doing it on NES Resolution(256 × 240 pixels) but no luck.

Also tried 120x20 still no luck.

Found somethign that sorta works.
