When anyone complaining about this makes the claim of trying "everything" with regard to this problem, and doesn't admit to any tinkering with GPU core speeds at all, then they haven't really done EVERYTHING. 

Far too many nVIDIA products from recent Geforce generations are problematic, and slowing their speeds down has been relatively successful.  This symptom isn't an exclusive for the Geforces, although the numbers of Radeons involved appears far smaller than the comparative market share for the pair of GPU companies. 

I cannot recall seeing anyone with a Radeon give us any feedback here that they solved this failure mode by slowing one of those down, but many Geforce owners are telling us it worked for them!

I have an AMD GPU, I tried undercloking the GPU as much as the software allowed me to do (in combinaison of various voltage settings). 

Sometimes it changes the end of the message :

[...]at least 512Mo    or  [...] at least 2Go.

My personal game preferences have not included Mass Effect games, although I have owned the first two, and have tested the last two.  I used a Radeon, not a particularly fast one at all, and a relatively older Intel i3 CPU, with only 8 GBs of RAM; that machine had Windows 7, with the Service Pack, and the game wasn't running at a comfortable frame rate, but I never experienced this symptom, and I can't retest, sorry. 

My system isn't even all in one piece any more; I've had to break it down to install upgrades, including to a newer mainboard in it.  I don't enjoy working on PCs the way I did years ago, back when I was a young man. 

slow down you geforce mmmmmm no worst advice ever.. The only reason you buy a Radeon is because you cant afford  GeForce !!
