I need to be clear that my intentions for that graphics card are sexual in nature
I got the 24gb model last August. Laugh a little Everytime I boot up half-life alyx and the game says not enough vram
How much vram does alyx need? Wtf
I think it's just because it's not an Nvidia card the game is freaking out. Game runs just fine.
How fine are we talking? What would you do to it?
Speaking as someone else who had a 7900XTX, this was sort of common. It’s just that a lot of game devs aren’t designing their games and apps with anything AMD (maybe Intel too) GPU related. The market is mostly Nvidia so that’s what their games are looking for when it tries to search up compatibility.
Most of the time, it’s just that they don’t officially support it but it still runs without any issue. Since their game is looking for “Nvidia” but sees “AMD”, it’s assuming you aren’t using a compatible GPU. Even more so because Alyx came out in 2020(?) and the 7900XTX came out in late 2022 so the game really doesn’t know that this GPU exists.
The game/app runs without any issue. The game just doesn’t have this specific card to check for a quick compatibility and throws this error as a “just in case”.
There were some rare times where the game/app legitimately did not run. The Oculus app was one of these. VR worked perfect fine through SteamVR but never with the Oculus app since that app was designed for Nvidia GPUs.
Oh I was talking about bangin' the gpu
Haha I am just now realizing what your comment said. I guess I was more tired than I realized last night.
I've got it on ultra settings and have never noticed a frame rate drop. The game is around 4 years old and has a number of bugs, Valve kind of just abandoned it despite it being one of the flagship VR experiences. The software not recognizing a CPU that came out 2 years after launch and perhaps a good six months since it's been updated isn't a huge surprise.
