Persistent "Out of Video Memory" Crashes

edited November 16 in General Discussion
I am getting consistent "out of video memory" errors that crash the game. I've tried running at low graphics settings, and have all other significant programs closed, but to little avail. I feel like my specs should be good enough. (32GB total graphics memory, 16GB dedicated video memory, ~8 months old).

Any suggestions of something to try? Or, are there any logs being generated in these crashes that I can send in if that would be helpful?

Thanks

    Do you have a 13th or 14th gen intel i7 or i9 CPU?
  • jadysjadys Member, Alpha Two
    Yes, i9-14900K. That was a quite specific question, so I suppose this is some sort of known issue?

    It was, wasn't it? I don't know if you've been following hardware news in the last few months, but it was found that some of the CPU components would suffer degredations and eventually failure when paired with bios settings that let the CPU pull as much power as it wanted. At least that's how I understood it. There's an article here detailing it more, and it explains that the out of memory error for games is a fault in the CPU. I would recommend to ensure you have the latest bios for your motherboard, and if a newer bios is not available, to grab the intel extreme tuning utility and set the voltage to something like -0.030 and see if the problem persists.

    Oh, wow, thank you, that's great info. I guess I'm lucky or in a bubble or something that the issue hadn't cropped up to me before now. I updated my bios, and it seems to be working for me now. Again, thanks!
