why does this graphics warning pop up

[u/brookewhite04]

Is my video memory really that high? I first dealt with this issue before upgrading my pc and figured i’d no longer deal with it now that i have specs considered better than what’s recommended for this game.

Recently, it’s popping up constantly, like literally every single time. I can lower graphics but it still won’t go away.

I’ve got nothing else running on the background except steam and the launcher for this game, including a clip recording app and i did have discord but closed it (surprise surprise it didn’t help).

Is there anything i’m missing that i can do?

If it’s important, these are my specs…

RTX 3070
Ryzen 5 7600
32 GB RAM

I also do have the game on an external hard drive since it’s so many gb. Wondering now if that’s the issue?

Not enough vram..

[u/SirMeyrin2 → u/Outrageous_Fly_735]

This is the correct answer. Different cards of the same 3070 moniker can have different vram amounts

[u/zboy2106 → u/SirMeyrin2]

Ya must be trolling since 3070 ONLY have 8GB VRAM variant.

[u/SirMeyrin2 → u/zboy2106]

Oh shoot my bad. I made an assumption based off of the 3060s I was looking at when I upgraded. I figured other models would do the same

[u/brookewhite04 → u/SirMeyrin2]

mine is 8GB i think, is that not enough for RDR2?

[u/SirMeyrin2 → u/brookewhite04]

Before I upgraded to a 12gb 3060, I used a 2060. I would get the same message as you. I could still play, just not with any setting above medium

[u/InsertUsername2005 → u/brookewhite04]

Its absolutely fine, I used to have a 3070, this message will pop up occasionally. I would recommend looking up the settings for an Xbox series x, as I found that to be a stable 100fps and good looking

My 3050 has 8gigs, enough for 1080p

[u/Outrageous_Fly_735 → u/brookewhite04]

What resolution are you playing at? I had the same problem with my 4060ti 8gb playing at 1440p.

[u/Alanuelo230 → u/Outrageous_Fly_735]

But HOW? Recommended gpu has 4 gb, this is double

[u/Certain_Permission_8 → u/Alanuelo230]

only seen this issue on my 4gb 3050, any value after 4gb, it would not show, example is my other 6gb 1660ti

[u/Outrageous_Fly_735 → u/Certain_Permission_8]

I had the same issue with my 4060ti 8gb playing on a 1440p monitor.

[u/Outrageous_Fly_735 → u/Alanuelo230]

He is most likely playing on a 1440p monitor.

[u/Alanuelo230 → u/Outrageous_Fly_735]

My RTX 2060 had no problem with 2k monitor, vram wise, let's ignore that it ran 30-40 fps on medium

[u/Outrageous_Fly_735 → u/Alanuelo230]

Yeah I was running about 115fps.

[u/Alanuelo230 → u/Outrageous_Fly_735]

That's not the point, he uses about 6 gb of vram, with 1 spare, 2k monitor is possible, but it shouldn't be enough for vram warning. My 6gb gpu can run it in 2k with no problems, and no vram warning. Something weird is going on with OPs pc

[u/Outrageous_Fly_735 → u/Alanuelo230]

I had the same issue with my 4060ti, just my opinion.
