1 year agoThey can do what they want, ‘gamer’ GPU’s for AI is not a new thing. The theory of Nvidia’s low VRAM comes from GTX 1080 TI’s being used for AI training, Nvidia saw the money lost and locked down that VRAM.
Some games use a whitelist of GPU’s, it’s always a problem on older games. Most the time editing a text file to tell the game to override the whitelist works, Shogun 2 is a good example (they did not plan for GPU’s with more than 2GB VRAM lol).
