Hi,
  Thanks, this is helpful. Are you using the OptiX-enabled VMD build?
If so, the driver version you are using is 331.113, which is somewhat
is old relative to the versions I had been testing with, which were
343.xx. Can you try updating to 334.xx or later and see if the problem
persists?

Cheers,
  John Stone
