Is my vram, connected to my graphics card?

I really want to play the new Hogwarts Legacy game, as well as some other games, but I currently don't have enough Vram. I meet every other PC specs though. I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti.

If I was to change my gc for a better one, would that come with better Vram?

Love my PC gaming, but rubbish when understanding my PC graphics card.

Thanks

Hogwarts Legacy should run fine with 6 GB VRAM, at least on Medium settings 1080p.
It's THE LAST OF US which needs 8+ GB VRAM on 1080p.

Even if you run out of VRAM, the game should still run but with stutters, not crashing altogether.

HL minimum requirements: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 4GB or AMD Radeon RX 470 4GB for 720p/30 fps. Your GPU is better by a lot than the minimum.

Frequently BSODs caused by installing GPU drivers is not normal.

It is better to update your drivers manually and download them from Nvidia's site.

i recommend you go watch a stream of hoggwarts and skip playing it on a poor system, rather watch someone else stream it or play it, grab some popcorn and enjoy it like a movie

specs?

post a cpuz validation link
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
cpuz -> validate button -> submit button
it will open a browser, copy the url (address) and paste it here

if the pc meets the min req, the game will run
even below it can still run, but may not be playable, but should not crash/bsod

crash/bsod is other problems

My specs are

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
6GB Video Ram
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
16gb ram

complete specs please
including psu brand/model age
cpuz link posts drives, mobo ram speed/timings and can show any oc

I think HardwareUnboxed did a review on HL after the patch. 8GB VRAM nVidia RTX cards can now run it at higher setting. But the graphics compromise or loss in texture fidelity, which are necessary to accommodate the 8GB VRAM buffer, reduces visual fidelity way too much. Same goes with any VRAM intensive games with RT enabled....where, shockingly, the RX 6800 can beat the RTX 3070 in games with RT enabled.

Look at 3060 12GB, 6700 XT or 6800 XT at the very least.
GTX 16 series always was junk. Not even as good as GTX 1070

_I_ 10/abr./2023 às 22:21

the 1660 are 2xxx with rt disabled
good alt to the 1060 6g, but not as good as the 1070 or 2060

Your hardware specs should be really enough for that game!! Even for high settings.

So it sounds like a (multiple) corrupted driver issue or even your machine is filled with dust, loose cables, loose RAM sticks, whatever. A newbie issue... I guess. Check your PC case!

With 16 GB RAM, you can create a "FIXED" pagefile of 8192 MB within your Windows Performance Settings to even add additional (slow) 8 GB "VRAM" for your system by this. So in other words, instead to have just 16 GB of RAM you likely will own 24 GB of RAM. This should be enough, performance wise!! Then you still have additional 6 GB GPU VRAM ..

-> SystemPropertiesPerformance.exe
-> Advanced Tab
-> VRAM
-> Custom size
-> Start/End "8192"

System RAM is always more neccessary than a GPU VRAM. I dont understand, why you guys talk about GPU VRAM only in here ... xD

-> Check your PC case, dust/wires/loose hardware
-> Add a "fixed" pagefile of "8192 MB", dont exceed that value performance wise
-> (Re-)Install and/or update all your drivers... system drivers, GPU drivers, ...

I do need to give my pc a good clean. It is filled with dust. That's possibly the problem but will see what happens when I finally clean it.

Thanks

Let us know if it worked.
And before opening your PC case, unplug its PC power cable to your PSU.

Thank you. Might ask my parents for their help, so hopefully it will get done soon but u really appropriate yours and everyone else's help so far.

CPU fans might have a whole dust "carpet", this should be removed carefully. In this case, you need to remove the CPU fans to be able to remove that dust carpet... You might need help for that, yes.

GPU fans dust can be removed with "cotton swabs", carefully or you damage/bend these fans permanently.

Other dust can be blown out of your case.. dry.

As I'm not sure, Is it safe to carefully hover some dust up?

#28

N3tRunn3r 10/abr./2023 às 23:32

In your case, lose dust in your case isnt your primary issue.

Good luck!

P.s.:
Dont use a hand broom on your hardware. This destroys your machine as it scratches on sensible circuits and just everywhere.

A vacuum cleaner on lowest setting is a better choice, but dont touch hardware with that. It wont clean up your fans anyways. You need cotton swabs.
