Baking problem after new Nvidia update 572.42

Textures are not baking well, especially for ambient occlusion, they are either striped, dotted or completely shifted relative to other textures and overlap! The solution is to turn off GPU Raytracing, but this results in huge CPU usage!

Hi @WikiQuik ,
 
Unfortunately, this is indeed an issue we're facing with Nvidia latest driver.
  • You can try this fix, but from users feedback it doesn't work for everyone.
  • You can also try to disable the GPU Raytracing (Edit > Settings > General > Baking options > Enable GPU Raytracing)
  • Ultimately, you can rollback to a previous driver version

 

For the information, we're currently in discussion with Nvidia to find a fix a soon as possible.
 
Best regards,
