Out of memory rendering in unreal on a 4090

[GeordieJames]

Just bought an Omen desktop - has an RTX 4090 graphics card and when running a simple project in Unreal Engine I get a video card out of memory error when rendering.

my previous 3090 ripped through this project so there’s something fundamentally wrong here

any suggestions - or am I just returning the whole machine ??

Hi @GeordieJames 

I can't say what is going on but if you have an Intel 13th gen or 14th gen CPU this Site might shed some light on your situation.

I don't think HP would ship MBs using outrageously overclocked settings since HP would have to replace a damaged Intel CPU if it fails during the warranty period.

I would do an exchange or refund in any event. You have some type of hardware problem.

Thank you Bill_To

i haven’t touched this machine prior to testing with UE so as you say they wouldn’t ship an overclocked machine.

so disappointing as I only bought a prebuilt HP desktop as I trusted it would be solid from the start !

return I shall…just hope the replacement behaves !!

thanks

Hi @GeordieJames 

My pleasure.

it would probably not be a HP error if HP is not overclocking the system.

Possibly a CPU problem or an Nvidia driver problem.

It's anybody's guess at this point.

You may see the same problem using any PC having the same components.
