driver has run out of dedicated memory on RTX 2080ti

[sbeowulf]

Started playing the game again yesterday, never had any issues with it and I got this pop up message from time to time saying "driver has run out of dedicated memory" I'm running the game on the highest setting and it's running perfectly smooth, no hic-ups what so ever. Very stable 60 fps. Is it safe to continue playing after the message has popped up? Is it a bug of some sorts? I have the MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO. It should have enough VRAM to run the game right?

If the game runs fine i wouldn't bother. For some players the game comes with pop-up errors now and then and i remember when the game released i got some pop-ups; but the game have always been running perfect.

I've checked similar posts and they all have old rigs or graphics cards that don't meet the requirements. Never saw somebody else posting this with an RTX 2080TI like me. It should not display this message unless I'm actually running out of VRAM right?

Hi again
I'm no tech/pc expert, but it can be some "memory-leak" (in the game) of some kind (some of these postings refer to that). These links just shows that the game "pop-up" bug messages.

If your other games runs fine (no pop-up message) and you only got it from this game (and it runs fine) i see no point to worry but it's up to you. You can also run/find some SW to check the status of your pC if you are really worried.


You got 11GB Vram, game say it needs 4 and some players say they can play the game with 2GBVram.

Just adding a note here...
I just got my new gaming laptop last year (2020 model).

MSI GP75 Leopard 10SFK-AU220
i7-10750H
GeForce RTX 2070 (8 GB)
DDR4-2666 MHz (16 GB)

I got the warning message once about running out of VRAM.

but like you said it was still running smoothly even at 240 FPS on Uber Settings.

that being said i have now upgraded my System RAM with 2 sticks of 32 GB DDR4-3200 MHz, 64 GB total. and it has not come up with any warning messages after the upgrade.

Please Note: The 3200 MHz RAM runs at a maximum of 2933 MHz stock standard because that is what the i7-10750H can support (with out overclocking).

I've been getting this error with a 2070 Super at max settings and it doesn't seem to affect anything.

My crashes are for a different reason... when I switch settings to minimum I still get crashes in Riverside

I reinstalled the game too after a long while and played through it. Somewhere around the Venus level I started to get the same error when loading screen was done. Also have a 2080 Ti (Strix OC) and was a bit baffled that how can this be - it should not be possible.

The error shows up when loading is done and you can press a button to continue to the game, it can be bypassed once or set to "ignore" but still it is a bit weird.

I was playing at 1440p and everything maxed out so I had a small thought that maybe there is a possibility that it is using all the vram so I tuned down some settings but nah - no change. I also use the in game fps limiter at 144 (as I have a 144Hz monitor) to not stress out the gpu too much.

Something along the game files got wonky as the said error was more and more consistent and it carried over after restarting the game. Also while playing the Gunslinger Joe part of the DLC my savegame probably got corrupted at the robo-dog ride part as I can't load it up anymore. I get a message "can't write crash dump" and the game crashes when I try to load it up. This only affects my savegames on that dlc episode.

I need to verify my game files and see if it helps, still have the dlc to finish - even if it means restarting it.

Ive got a 2080ti and 128gb of ram and still get the error.

Its like no one searches the forums, its a bug. Ignore it, it does not affect the game.

I have a 3090 and it's giving me the same error. I think I have plenty of VRAM...

got a 3070 and it's giving me that error too. Never did it before. It's probably just some weird bug.

You should add that to your sig
I got tired of copying and pasting, have a good weekend.

I thought it was just me when I got this bug just now on the New York City level. It must have been recently introduced though or something, because I almost NEVER got it before when playing, and last time I played was February of this year, so an update to the drivers or the game since then must have caused it to pop up.

[Ceejay]

Sometimes it never pops up, that is the issue, its a bug. I can sometime play this without getting the message, sometimes I get the message quickly. Maybe certain maps/areas cause it more frequently perhaps, regardless it does not affect the game.

Error stopped for me, when i activated Resize BAR in BIOS (may also require a graphics card BIOS update). However besides being annoying the message got no impact whatsoever.
