System Information
Operating system: Windows 10
Graphics card: R9 280X
system-info.txt

Blender Version
Broken: 2.80 hash be0c8ed734
Short description of error
Whenever I render out an animation from the attached .blend file using eevee, after 100-150 frames blender will crash with the following error:

GPUTexture: create : TEXTURE_2D, RGBA32F, w : 384, h : 216, d : 0, comp : 4, size : 2.53 MiB
GPUTexture: texture alloc failed. Likely not enough Video Memory.
Current texture memory usage : 2.53 MiB.
Error   : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
Address : 0x00007FF61F17D5B1
Module  : C:\blender-git-2.80\build_windows__x64_vc15_Release\bin\Release\blender.exe

This even happens on lower resolutions. My card is a bit older, but it has 3GB of onboard ram and task manager only shows 50% onboard graphics memory being usedwhile rendering. I've had the error on much smaller scenes, but this is the first one I could get it to crash reliably.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open the following file and press 'F12' to render the entire animation.

I attempted to reproduce this on Mac on hash f4c70a35a2, but it did not crash and the animation render was successful. System info: system-info.txt

I'll try to render out the animation on my 290x (running linux).

In the mean time, could you try to download the latest AMD drivers? They released a big driver update yesterday I think. So it might be worth trying it out.

No dice, I can render the whole animation and it doesn't crash. Get back to me about the driver situation.

I updated the drivers just to be sure, and it still happens. Must be a Windows thing?

I'm guessing so.

@fclem I don't know what kind of information you want from longer animations like this. Still the attached output of --debug-gpu?

Got a debug build working, and this is the stacktrace I get when it crashes:

This is some kind of weird driver bug. It happens to @mano-wii too. I'm thinking I could provide a command line argument to bypass the texture creation test and maybe disable it entirely on certain system.
