Out of Video Memory - RTX 4090

[SnprR]

I've seen that many people are getting this issue, and it seems to be infamous with Unreal Engine games.

After the beginning cutscene, I press any button to continue, and once the loading bar appears the error comes up everytime.

I have had the exact same issue with Lies of P when it launched, however I was able to play after multiple tries, the message appeared but I could still play, now I have no issues with it.
Anyone found a fix that isn't all the obvious things that I've tried?

PC Specs:
i9-13900K
RTX 4090
48GB 7000Mhz

lol can't even get it to work with the temporary best parts?

Same here, same CPU and GPU, RAM DD5 6000...

Oh thank god it's not just me. I have the exact same specs as you and I'm having the exact same issue. I press a button to play, loading bar starts and crash with a memory error. Every single time. I straight up can not play this game or even get to settings. What a bummer.

Yep although I think this "Out of Memory" Issue is only happening on 4090's but at this point I won't be surprised.

same on 4080, how can they ♥♥♥♥ this up so badly?

Yeah I know, as I said this is a problem with Unreal Engine games, I have this exact problem with Fortnite with my current GPU too.
But what makes no sense, is the fact loads of people have this exact issue but no one has a proper fix??

1080 gtx - runs fine

It's a known issue, same thing with all UE5 games: https://www.reddit.com/r/remnantgame/comments/15646hy/getting_out_of_video_memory_error_with_rtx_4090/

[Reaver Timm]

Hi guys, for anyone specifically having this issue, I found a temporary fix.

After doing some research, with the help of @necuz as he pointed me towards the forums.
It seems to be related to the CPU.

The fix that worked for me was to severally unclock my CPU.
I went from 5500Mhz down to 3000Mhz just to see if I could get past the loading screen, and it worked first time.
So now I'll just slowly up the frequency to the highest that's playable.
Most people suggested a -2 ratio and obviously I went down by -25 lol just to see if it worked.

So underclock your CPU and it should work!

Setting your power limit in bios to 200W should be enough. I never encountered the issue after that again. If your CPU tries to use more than 200W (which it would during shader comp) it will downclock itself. Its the best solution, no need to underclock your CPU. Somehow these Unreal Engine shader comps can cause these crashes for 12000/13000 series CPUs if the power draw is too high and your cooling cant keep up.

I don't get it.
You and I have the same RAM size, just you're at 7000 (you sure this isnt 7200 mhz) while I'm at 2x24GB 8000. I Just have an 'updated' 13900k, and RTX 3090 FE, and my Nvidia driver is 7 months old yet I had no problems getting into the game, making a character and starting (even supports inverted Y axis!). How are you getting an out of VRAM error?

Is your windows up to date? I'm using windows 11 with the latest cumulative update.
I'm on Nvidia driver 531.29 but try the new one 537.58.

*EDIT* nvm you fixed it apparently.

Same config, same error...

Second game telling me this in two days (the other one was the demo of robocop game)

[luisfsal]

I also have the same problem, same setup, 4090 + i9 13900KF.
