Attempting to bake highpoly model with GPU ray tracing enabled to use my Geforce 5070
ive re installed and uninstalled my drivers entirely to the same result. It simply gets stuck until i force close it. Been looking for a solution for weeks now, any insight is welcome

    Hello ​@ClayArt,

     

    Can you make sure Substance Painter is using the proper GPU (not the integrated one) ?

    It’s also worth checking in your Nvidia control panel:

    Lastly, I advise you to make sure your drivers are up to date, we had known baking issues with some versions of 50XX series.

    Keep me posted.
