Using more than 2gb vram

When i go into display settings in game , i have a red warrning that the setting iam using use more than my limit of vram (2gb) . I have everything on low , disabled and iam playing on lowest resolution possible . Because of this , or at least I think its because of this , the game keeps crashing without error. I have updated my drivers and set my nvdia graphic to be used . My specs are nvidia geforce 940m with 2gb vram ,i5 6200 ,8 gb ram . Thanks for answers

  • Apex is prone to crash on even the most impressive builds. Using only 2gb of vram could certainly add to that, and 2gb isn't that much. I would consider upgrading to a slightly newer card, 1060s will probably get cheap with the release of the 1660. That said, Apex crashes for everyone, my self and all my friends that play the game included. Your system could use a little boost, but Apex is new game, a very buggy game and crashes are to be expected.

    For example, I have 6gb of vram and in my experience about 1 of 5 games crashes.
  • I get that , but in requirements the minimal VRAM needed for the game is 1GB . Thats why iam wondering why the game uses more than 2 GBs even though the settings are on lowest .

    Hey there!

    Can you try this for me?

    go in the bios and in "integrated peripherals" you should have IGP or integrated graphic, display.

    select disabled on this option save and reboot your system.

    Let me know if this worked.

  • So apparently my bios is missing the advanced menu in which the option you mentioned should be . I ve tryed some steps on how to enable it but none worked so far .

    Whoops, you are on a laptop right?

    Try this:

    Right click on your desktop, go to nvidea settings, manage 3d settings, and set your preferred graphics processor to "high-performance NVIDIA processor

    or you can do into device manager and disable it over there but i recommend using the first option.
