Out of video memory
Cannot even start a game, instant error "out of video memory"

MSI GTX 4080 Super
I9-14900K
Corsair Dominant 64 DDR5 GB Ram

Any fix to that? I´ve had same problem with Lies of P

"I9-14900K" there's your problem
update your mobo bios, hope your mobo manufacturer got a "fix" for those intel 13/14th gen faulty chip

There really are no fixes. Intel is likely to drop the max supported speed of ddr5 ram from 5600 to 4800 in the name of "stability". The microcode patches via bios are also likely going to lower the max "all core ratio" to 53x or lower. Slower ram and slower clocks. Not really a fix. More of a bandaid.

Gamers Nexus just did a video about this on youtube. Check it out. Also, fill out the hardware survey if you can. It is in the description of the video. It may help them narrow down date codes or something that can be used to point at a cause or even specific batches that seem affected. Maybe even get Intel to do the right thing. I know, I know. Let's not get carried away.

Just download more video memory EZ

same issue. if you have a intel 14TH, the game will just crash or get error message. you are not alone, actually no solution or wait a patch.

For my next PC build I am going AMD for the 9950x

Intel quality is near non existant now. The P to E core architecture of their new CPUs also sucks for gaming.

Intel has always been lousy but selling borderline defective chips to consumers for a nice price is kind of like a good deed that didn't seem like it was worth complaining about.

its nothing to do with your rig.. its the games Memory leak causing problems

game is a broken buggy mess

and its not the games known memory leak that the devs have warned about no no ofc not lol


buddy of my have same problem on his 7800x3d

How is a memory leak in The First Descendant causing the exact same issue in a completely different game? Both games run on unreal. Lies of P is UE4 and TFD is UE5. intel cpus have been crashing with "out of vram" errors at an increased rate in games powered by Unreal. OP hasn't confirmed what cpu yet, but the out of vram error in two UE games certainly smells like an intel cpu issue.

Their CPUs and compatible Mobos are also more expensive by 20% or more in most cases.

From what i have read/know so far. "It has something to do with the unreal engine".
The Memory problem seems to happen when the cpu clock is "to high". (Don't ask me why)
I have a 14700k and decreased it from 5,5GHz to 5,3GHz and the game runs without any problems.
Maybe this will help you. Give it a try.

It has everything to do with his rig. It's not the game's "memory leak". It's a red herring for an unstable and potentially failing intel 13th/14th Gen CPU. Well documented at this point that the CPU internals are not able to withstand the heat and voltage intel and the board partners are pumping through them without extreme cooling.

It's not that the clock is too high or something that is specific to the Unreal Engine, but that the cpu is malfunctioning in some way. The cause is unknown and the lowering of clock speed is a temporary fix if it works at all. Running slower ram (DDR5-4800) and disabling resizable bar in bios can also lessen crashes, but it is much the same as the clock speed fix. If it is oxidation or a manufacturing defect, then the cpus will continue to degrade until they no longer work. The lowered clocks and lessened voltage will slow the inevitable death of the cpu, but it won't stop it.

Just for reference, this issue is also happening on workstation mobos and low-wattage 13700t cpus, not just overbuilt gaming PCs.

This helped me when I had the same issue. It's described in detail and doable even for someone who has no clue about PCs.
