But how would i test the gpu?

Ugh, i can only think of my brother's old pc, but its REALY old. May be older than me. I think it uses ddr2 and a dual core cpu. With only a few gb of ram. Im not sure how that could help.

It has 4gb so i think thats plenty for smth like gta.

Bruh i literaly have no one to ask for help in these kind of things. All my friends either have some kind of console or a rly old crappy laptop or none at all. Any idea of what would be the issue if not for the vram? I was suspecting the motherboard's pcie being bad, how likely is that this is the problem?

I just tried that and yes GTA works fine on igpu, so if it realy is a VRAM issue what do i do now? Also im not sure if virtual memory has anything to do with vram so idk maybe its something else.

The paging file size is set between 1024mb and 2048mb (min/max) and i have 8gb of ram Now tell me, if this realy was a ram issue why was gta running just fine when i just had the internal graphics(which btw used 2gb ram as vram) and now it doesnt run AT ALL. Im sure ram is not a problem, it wouldnt make sense.(i have 8gb of ram)

Soo.. should i reduce it or what? Btw my pagfile size is not 4gb, its 1508mb

I did that for gta and a 3rd timespy run. Maybe we did find the problem, im not sure. Here is the message i found for gta5, after i restarted the pc bcz it crashed. (translated from google translate) Windows has successfully diagnosed the status of insufficient virtual memory. The following programs consumed most of the virtual memory: GTA5.exe (9304) consumed 3775700992 bytes, MsMpEng.exe (4288) consumed 239210496 bytes and EpicGamesLauncher.exe (6092) consumed 216195072 bytes. Tf is virtual memory? Thought it only used the vram

Here is the link from my second run: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/73768945 I just have the demo so it doesnt let me see detailed stuff, even if it did i wouldnt know what to make of it. Maybe you can help? Oh and sry for the delay, when you replied i already went to sleep and i just came back home from school.

Um for the dx versions, already tried that. When you say ''gpu firmware'' you mean like the vbios? Because i already tried finding wth i need to do but no luck.

So, before i just had the igpu (vega 8) I ran 3DMark time spy and the graphics score are 1820, for cpu 3384 and overall i got 1955. I dont even know what these scores mean but i think i was just bellow average(1974) About the crashes, well it depends.Sometimes it crashes to desktop without any error message, sometimes it does give me an error message (a different one every time) and when i looked it up internet said it has something to do with my graphics card, thats all i know. Btw sometimes i need to restart the whole pc 'cause everything changed to 480p res after the crash. Yes, im just as confused as you are. Nothing makes sense

I gave gta as an example but yes, i have also tried other games(for testing purposes only) such as fortine, apex, call of duty warzone and same thing, the game opens after a minute or two crashes and im left regreting spending 6 hours downloading a game i dont even like, to test it, and it doesnt even work. I can only run old games as if i had a potato instead of a gpu. For example The forest runs just fine on 1080p with medium settings and anti aliasing turned off.

I have done it already, told you i have tried everything The results were well withing the normal range, meaning its working just fine but its not.

Well, thanks for trying m8

Umm Greece but i dont see why you want to help me so much xd
