"Hardware tiled Resources Tier 2.." Error when I attempt to launch the game!

[Loarts_q]

"Could not find compatible graphics device due to the following missing feature: Hardware tiled Resources Tier 2.. Please ensure you have a directX 12 compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer."

12GB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz
DirectX12
Windows 10

My card should be able to run it, no? I've tried a few things already. Updated drivers with clean install. Updated directx12. Tried to run as admin. Tried launching without high res textures. Used xbox app instead of steam. I don't know what exactly the problem is? Can anyone help?

I regret to inform you that the 960 generally only has 2GB VRAM, which is below the min spec of 4.

There are ways to manually increase integrated VRAM via a bios or registry edit; however, not all computers can handle the load, and you would need to upgrade your memory chip(s) to no less than 16 to prevent tanking windows.

The next problem would be that most integrated gpus and older cpu computers don't really fully install dx12, but instead only enable about 3/4s of it. dxdiag will show how much of the dx12 profile is loaded.

That's odd because while the 900 series doesn't fully support DX12, they support it enough to run Infinite. Would a laptop version of a 900 series card have even less support for DX12 than the desktop card? If so, does that mean the M variants of the 900 series risk being just as useless for running Infinite as the 700 series of cards?

I mean any GPU pre-Ampere and RDNA2 is somewhat useless for running Infinite because it's horribly optimized and the port was rushed, but the reason the game doesn't start on the 960M, is for some reason, 343 thought a whitelist system for GPUs was a good idea instead of blacklisting incompatible GPUs that can't boot the game properly.

You may be able to force it, but it will run unplayably slowly in campaign mode as does any GPU weaker than an RTX 3060.
