Re: DirectX 12 - E_OUTOFMEMORY PipelineDx12Graphics.cpp

Hey everyone, just sharing an update. I purchased a new i9 13900K and installed it yesterday, and so far that seems to have solved all of my issues. I'm able to play the game now which I couldn't even launch before. I got a random DX device removed error, but aside from that it's been smooth sailing. Looks like the processor I had originally was a total lemon. Intel support is being very helpful, and looks like they will refund me for the defective processor. If you have an intel i9 13900K with S-Spec SRMBH and batch# X246J536, it may be worth reaching out to intel for a replacement.

Thank you to everyone who replied to my thread with your suggestions, most were very helpful. Cheers!

    @steakmane Thanks for the update.

    Did you stress test the CPU before? If yes, were the tests successful or did you get any errors?

    And your errors completely gone now?

    @iElessar For me the deciding factor was trying again to run the game bypassing the video card, and using the onboard intel integrated graphics which is in on the i9 chip. (Intel UHD 770 Graphics) After doing this, I was greeted with insane artifacting shown here: https://streamable.com/tdplfb, which convinced me the problem was the CPU.

    Stress tests and benchmarks all worked fine, even running memtest for days in parallel mode didn't cause a problem.

    I played the game for 4 hours straight without crashing last night after replacing the CPU, so far I'm in the clear.

    And I should further mention/make clear my issues were not isolated to 2042, it affected all games running DX12 and even crashed some that were DX11. So bad CPU was the root cause here.

    Ok this is promising in narrowing down the culprit. I have similar artifacts throughout the same (sky glitters, funny hair on character, weapons and reflections are smooth).

    I will try the iGPU for a while and see if the issue exists.

    And yea, other games have issues as well. Hogwarts Legacy, CODMW2 don’t work at all.

    Thank you for the update.

    would you mind outlaying the steps to test this issue? how did you bypass the video card?

    Have the same problem, sky glitter in BF2042 only but overall BIG problem with DX12 and so on, have stress tested all components and everything is fine but the CPU. Seems like someone else here talked about. Batch of i9 13900k is the problem. Reseller told me they have had A LOT of people with this problem. Stress tested CPU yesterday and there is no doubt that the CPU is performing odd. Core Voltage is super high and Throttling within seconds under stress test. 

    New CPU incoming! PSU should also be checked. I tested IGPU and there is 100% the same problem so GPU is not the problem I'm very sure of that. That's also why we are like 1000 people on the Internet with this problem and no one knows how to fix it, that's because we all think it's a GPU problem when it clearly is the CPU.

    Have same problem and after have done everything and checked whole PC it's now clear to me that CPU was the problem. I'm about to get a new one to so I just pray it will work this time but I'm so sure i can be that this is CPU related. You still going on without problem right ?

    do you mind, sharing your steps on how you found out which batch was problomatic and in turn which batch your cpu was? i somehow need to provide proof to retailer but the issue being so spesific is hard.

    Friend, I have the same problem on the i9 14900kf and rtx 4090. Can you please answer me if the problem was fixed by replacing the processor. Thank you very much

    Actually i fixed this in BIOS. Check if you got the Turbo Mode enable. (Not Turbo boost)
    Because when turning that off whole PC was fine and have never had a single problem since then. I thought this was because of GPU first, then CPU, then after 100+ tests i found the problem so if you got the T-Mode enable i dare to bet this is the problem 100% So try to turn it off.

    Thanks! Dropping my CPU Performance Core Ratio down from 55x to 54x with the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility has fixed my crashes with games using DirectX12."

    @Darlanlost666 It's the only fix .. I know people that RMA'd their i9 13900k and i9 14900k and same thing happened , this should lead to a massive lawsuit against intel but as it stands nobody and i mean nobody will ever get around this issue without downclocking or juicing up their vcores to higher voltage.

    But the latter adds more consumption and heat , Remnant 2 , Lords of the Fallen , The finals and Battlefield 2042 all suffer from this issue and many more UE5 games will aswell.

    @Darlanlost666 That won't help you sadly , i have friends who already RMA'd and they got their new cpu and have the same issues , i told you what you have to do 🙂 downclock or go amd.
