Out of Video Memory Error in game (RTX 4080 Super) -Solved

[Kipibass]

Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing an "Out of video memory" error while trying to play Black Myth: Wukong. My system specs are as follows:

CPU: Intel Core i7-14700K
Memory: 32GB DDR5 @ 3000MHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super

What do I need to do to fix this?
Thank you!


--Update--
Lowering the resolution to 1920x1080 helped me fix it.

--Update 2--
Thanks to djbatoradr here is a better solution.
Right-click on the game app executable, and then on properties, then under compatibility, disable full-screen optimizations.

Its an INTEL issue regardless of the vram error. You will need to either download the new BIOS by your mobo or adjust the settings manually provided on this doc.

Ignore the game in link actualy , its an problem with Intel processors only...

men .. i also have an rtx 4080 super +intl i9 13 gen ,,,i had same problem and solved it : right clicked on game app executable,,,and then on properties,,,then under compatibilly ,disable full-screen optmizations ...my problem was resolved

[K.o.K]

disable E cores bro

This solution is stupid. Your processor will soon burn itself.

People with those Intel CPUs absolutely should update their UEFI revisions because any and all software workarounds you'll find will not fix your CPU degrading.

It's a well known Intel problem at this point:

Updating the UEFI does nothing, as it's a band-aid fix to lower frequency and power under low usage (desktop, web browsing etc..) to make sure the CPU doesn't really see issues till after the warranty period. It's a dirty underhanded move by Intel to save money at your expense.

The only solution is to lock your P-cores to the default frequency based on your CPU (14900K should be 57 for 5.7GHz, 14900KS 5.8 or 5.9GHz, as an example). In your BIOS/UEFI disable core boosting tech, enforce all limits, and set what you want for PLL1 and 2 (limit amperage a little higher at 500 since I'm direct die cooling and don't want power to limit my frequency, only temps which I've never seen above 83C during Cinebench). Set the Vcore in BIOS to 1.35 or use an negative offset to keep to safe voltage (I'm using an -0.08 offset) and benchmark your CPU with the Intel tuner and AVX2 along with Cincebench to ensure you're stable at a reasonable voltage (FAFO in BIOS till you find your sweet spot). Enable a power plan in Widows that doesn't lower core frequency so you don't have insane transients as cores lower and rise in frequency.

The entire problem stems from the VID tables being crap. They're often requesting voltages up to 1.6 Vcore for a single-core 6GHz boost and running all P-cores at or close to 1.5V 9which is substantially more than what's needed). All to boost a core or two to 6GHz for two lousy seconds so idiot tech tubers can drool over da 6Ghz (which they did for months).

Benchmark your CPU sometime and note how little 5.7GHz all core makes vs 5.7GHz with one core boosting to 6GHz for brief periods, it's a nothing burger. Even all core 5.8 or 5.9 vs 5.7 benchmarks are in margin of error territory with 1% and .1% lows in games. And those 1% and .1% lows are the critical thing for preventing hitching.

You can leave your E-cores alone and let them run as normal as there's no problem there. Just use something like CoreDirector to park the E-cores for games that benefit from such a situation due to weird scheduling issues. While getting the extra threads for other activities along with the games that don't have issues (there are some that see benefits with E-cores eneabled)

Do not however use the software fix listed buy the OP. That doesn't remedy the underlying issue of too much Vcore degrading the P-cores of your CPU causing irreparable damage over time. It's a placebo, because the pre-cache worked. The CPU will still be degraded and worsen as time marches on without applying the steps above.

Yes, that's what the microcode fixes now.

The previous UEFI revisions fixed the out of spec settings on certain motherboards.

No, it doesn't. When boosting, the Vcore still exceeds recommended voltages. You're providing incorrect information. All Intel did is override Windows' Power Setting to force the CPU to downclock when idle or under extremely low usage scenarios.

If you don't set your Vcore and lock the P-cores. You're still going to end up with a degraded or dead CPU.

try this. it helped me, the tuning fix - https://quoramarketing.com/fix-black-myth-wukong-out-of-video-memory-error/

The simplest way to determine if the issue is hardware, software or bios settings is to first enter your bios. Save your current Bios if you haven't already done so. Then set the Bios to default settings and reboot. Try to play the game again. If you are able play the game without the "out of memory error", the problem is your bios settings. Log back into your bios and load the previous saved settings. I found that the simplest way to fix this issue is to modify the CPU Load line settings. I preferred this method over modifying a dozen+ other settings. I have an MSI Z790 godlike board. I changed my CPU load line from 8 to 7. Also, I set the CPU Aux load line settings to 4. Problem solved.

Good luck.
