Constant Fatal error after swapping from the 3080 to the 5080 GPU

Can someone help figure out why I’m constantly getting fatal errors whenever I try to join my friend’s modded server? This all happened when I switched GPUs from the 3080 to 5080. I’ve played the game with no issues on the 3080, but ever since I swapped to the 5080, the fatal error appears more often. I’ve already tried reinstalling the game, verified files, deleted certain files such as “Logs” and “Saved”, updated my Windows OS and NVIDIA drivers (DDU also), reinstalled BattlEye, and still no luck. I have the Steam version of the game. I really hope anyone here would help out before I pull my hair out since I’ve been trying to figure this out for the past 3 days. Here is the crash dump I found:

Fatal error: [File:C:\B\tech_exiles\code\Engine\Source\Runtime\RenderCore\Private\RenderingThread.cpp] [Line: 805] Rendering thread exception: Fatal error!

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x25840000

!0x0000000000000000

My PC specs:

CPU: Intel i7-14700K

GPU: MSI RTX 5080 Gaming Trio OC (recently switched from the 3080)

PSU: Corsair 1000x

RAM: Corsair vengeance DDR5 32 GB 5600

Why did you upgrade your GPU then? The RTX 3080 can run any game you want, there is no need to upgrade.

I just installed the hotfix and ran the game for a good 3 hours. So far so good! Knock on wood
