Guaranteed fix to the crashing
Apparently the solution is to just get a GPU with so much VRAM the game never reaches the full capacity.

At 1440p and with every setting turned to the absolute max, the game uses more than 10GB but less than 11. This means it could still crash on an RTX 3080 if all settings are maxed out.

The more closed off maps use between 9-10GB, it's only the wide open maps like the Future Imperfect ones that go over 10GB of VRAM use.

So the game might actually be more stable on the new 12GB Nvidia/AMD GPU's too than on any of the 20xx RTX series cards and on most of the 30xx series. RX 6800, 6900 and RTX 3090 naturally are the best GPU's for the game right now.

I'll check how much VRAM the game uses when the resolution goes up to 4k, once I get a 4k monitor.

TLDR; money is the answer. :/

RX580 It tells me I am using 7gb of 8 Have settings on hi not max asus tells me avg fps 45. I have never crashed in this game 730 hrs played.

Don't confuse needed VRAM with allocated VRAM.

The game is probably AMD optimized anyways due to the AMD hardware on consoles.

Ridiculous demands from a game that actually doesn't need the resources it consumes to play.
1080ti is mint.

Never had any crashes on my 970.

Oh, but since it utilizes those 10+ gigabytes of VRAM at maximum settings at 1440p, it sure needs all of that memory as it is using it.

Playing it at 4k at maximum settings is probably going to take the VRAM utilization over 12GB. If it reaches the 16GB I have in my GPU, I expect it to crash with the device hung error message popping up.

So far the game has not crashed for me a single time since I upgraded the GPU.

OR!!!!!
Buy an Xbox S/X 😉
I’m just messing w ya but I got mine today (from Japan) and yea it’s hella expensive and you’re forced to buy the game .. again. Which I knew and accept.

Personally I know upgrading a rig in the long run is more cost effective but like I said in another post. I’m done tweaking. Mainly bc I just don’t completely understand it anymore. (Complicated for me personally is all bc of all the specs and compatibility etc)

So apparently what I’ve learned is that I’m enjoying the game enough to justify paying for it again and the new console (obviously) .

Start the grind again but luckily I am really hooked on the brawling aspects. I guess if they get it together at Corp or not will be a bonus.

Not asking what you paid to get your PC to handle it. I had to pay more than retail for the Xbox X/S but nothing crazy!

Wonder what multiplayer will be like.. luckily it’s mostly solo!
Lol wait is that some sort of oxymoron? (Go ahead, someone will say I’m a moron)

Nah, tweaking the PC is indeed getting more complicated these days. I had to finally flash a BIOS for the first time in my life when I did my upgrades and the first version I used wasn't even stable, so I had to go down to the second newest version. Then it was quite a mess setting things up in the BIOS again so that my Windows would even boot.

Now I'm encountering some typical AMD GPU issues and having to troubleshoot those as well, but this is all part & parcel of going for a full AMD build. I might have to even adjust some voltages if the latest BIOS tweaks I did don't solve an issue I'm having.

Yeaaa...
No thanks
Gotta say, it looks freaking stellar so far

I’ve only played for 5 min and my first impression is that PC was an afterthought!

Yes, PC version is just a port from the consoles. For the PC, you need to spend a lot more money to get an equivalent level of hardware as the consoles have, and if you want even better like I did, you just have to be prepared to sink like two thousand or more on it. Right now I have twice as much RAM as the current consoles, stronger CPU and GPU, and way faster drives with a far more versatile OS. PC also features an environment far better suited for simulator type games, as you get access to a large selection of peripherals and can potentially do something like this:

But for arcade Marvel games, consoles will always be the best platform.

First of all, wow! That is cool!
I had a feeling you were around $2k for that upgrade but again idk enough about it.

So yea, $800 for Xbox X/S
I’ve never really been a console person. Owned about all but always did mmorpg. I tried the game laptop and it was outdated before I even got home. Desktop can’t really be beat as far as overall versatility.

The cost of the upgrades has actually been about 1760€, but I didn't get the older parts for free either when I built this PC in 2019. So the final cost of my PC goes way above 2000€. I didn't pay it all at once, the components were bought one or two at a time. Buying an x570 motherboard was a good choice as it has given me so much room for upgrades over the years. Spreading the costs over three years means I've not needed to spend even 1000€ per year on this PC though.
