Why prompt ‘Low TDR Value is detected'?

Modified on Sun, 27 Apr at 4:41 AM

Hello! If you're getting a ‘Low TDR Value is detected’ message, could you first try opening a D5 demo scene or a smaller project file? This will help us determine if the problem is related to large, memory-intensive scenes.

- If small files work:

The issue is likely due to your graphics card's video memory (VRAM) being overloaded or faulty. Please check out the solutions in this post: [Hot Issue] TDR Problems and Out of Memory Crash Related Issues - Get Help - D5 RENDER FORUM

- If you see the error even with small files:

It may be due to the graphics card exceeding the preset time and triggering a graphics card reset. To potentially resolve this, especially if it's the first time, we suggest increasing the TDR timeout value. Here's how: How to do when a low TDR is detected? | User Manual

Solution: To address this, D5 Render can automatically modify the default TDR response time when launched with administrative rights. Here's how to do it:

First, make sure D5 Render is fully closed.
Locate the D5 Render application icon on your desktop or in your start menu.
Right-click the icon, and from the dropdown menu, choose "Run as administrator." This will start D5 with elevated privileges.
After D5 Render has opened, close it normally by using the application's exit command (e.g., File > Exit or the close button).
Next, restart your computer. This ensures the changes are properly applied. After your computer restarts, you can launch D5 Render by double-clicking its icon as you normally would.
