Can i play this with a 1GB of VRAM video card?
Specs:

i3 9100F @3.60 Ghz
8GB DDR4
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 (No, not Ti, just 750) 1GB
480 GB SSD
Windows 11

I gotta tell you, i played it once before, with a relatively obsolete AMD Radeon RX 550 of 2GB and was actually able to play it!

Thing is, before owning those two mentioned, i had a Radeon HD 7750 of 1GB, and said... meh, gonna try it

I got the "err_gfx_state" error, and when i installed and played again on the 2GB one, i was actually able to play it. Could get decent 40-35 FPS, but the max resolution i was allowed was 1280x720 out of my 1080p screen, which said was limited to the VRAM usage bar i saw on the video options menu,

But

Saw a video of a guy actually playing with my current video card (And VRAM), regardless of the good FPS and all. How did they have done it? I get the "err_gfx_state" error whenever i try to play this game with less than 2GB VRAM video cards (As you can see, i am an avid player and also avid video card changing guy), how is it possible?

Oh, and by the way, i own Red Dead Online, not this one, which is KINDA the same, so if this works, i am may buy the single player game.

2GB VRAM is basically the bare minimum for 720p - 1080p on this game.
And as far as System RAM, it generally needs about 10-12GB RAM just for the game.
It "might" work on your specs but it's going to chug pretty hard. FPS in the teens and 20s. It's not going to be a nice or smooth experience at all.

Not exactly worth doing.
But you can get a 32gb so-dimm ddr4 kit(s) on Amazon for about $75.00

System by default allows 50% of system ram to act as shared video memory.
So that would give you up to a total of 16gb shared video memory + the one gig of vram.

would reduce the page file hits & slightly increase performance from that alone.
Wouldn't produce miracles on that laptop/tablet you are using though.

Like I said, not really worth doing. But it's an option available to you.

p.s. was surprised at the price for older so-dimm's $75 for a 32gig kit?
Have seen sdram (desktop) DDR4 32gig kits for aprox $25.00
On the same source Amazon!

Heh, i love Amazon, but i gotta say no

As a matter of fact, these 8 gigs of RAM that i currently have actually worked well when i played it with the RX

Oh, and also let's not forget my SSD, that's the most important part!

16GB of RAM and at least RX 570 would be good for 1080p/High
