inZOI: Insufficient Video Memory to Run the Game – Quick Fix Guide

inZOI: Insufficient Video Memory to Run the Game Solution

Are you encountering the “Insufficient Video Memory to Run the Game” error while trying to play inZOI? This frustrating issue typically occurs when your GPU doesn’t have enough VRAM (Video RAM) to handle the game’s graphics demands.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through several quick and effective fixes to resolve this problem, ensuring you can enjoy inZOI without interruptions. We’ll also explore how cloud gaming services like Stremio and GeForce Now could be potential alternatives for low-end PCs.

Why Does the “Insufficient Video Memory” Error Occur?

The error appears when:

• Your GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) lacks enough VRAM to render the game.
• You’re using integrated graphics (e.g., Intel HD Graphics) with limited VRAM allocation.
• Your PC doesn’t meet inZOI’s minimum system requirements.
• Background applications are consuming too much memory.

How to Fix “Insufficient Video Memory” in inZOI

1. Check inZOI’s System Requirements

Before troubleshooting, ensure your PC meets the minimum or recommended specs for inZOI.

✅ Minimum Requirements (Steam):

• OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)
• Processor: Intel Core i5-4460 / AMD FX-8350
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 960 / AMD Radeon R9 280 (4GB VRAM)
• DirectX: Version 11

🔹 If your GPU has less than 4GB VRAM, you may need to upgrade your graphics card or try the following fixes.

2. Increase Virtual Memory (Page File)

Windows uses virtual memory as an extension of RAM. Increasing it can help compensate for low VRAM.

Steps to Increase Virtual Memory:

1. Press Windows + R, type sysdm.cpl, and hit Enter.
2. Go to the Advanced tab > Performance Settings > Advanced.
3. Under Virtual Memory, click Change.
4. Uncheck “Automatically manage paging file size for all drives”.
5. Select Custom Size and enter:
   • Initial Size: 1.5 × your RAM size (e.g., 8GB RAM = 12,000 MB)
   • Maximum Size: 3 × your RAM size (e.g., 8GB RAM = 24,000 MB)
6. Click OK, restart your PC, and relaunch inZOI.

3. Close Background Applications

Running Chrome, Discord, OBS, or other memory-heavy apps can reduce available VRAM.

✅ How to Free Up Memory:

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
• End tasks for unnecessary applications.
• Try launching inZOI again.

4. Run inZOI in DirectX 11 Mode

Some games perform better on DX11 instead of DX12.

Steps to Force DX11 in Steam:

1. Open Steam, go to Library.
2. Right-click inZOI > Properties.
3. Under Launch Options, type:
   Copy

   -dx11

4. Click OK and restart the game.

5. Update GPU Drivers

Outdated drivers can cause performance issues.

✅ How to Update Drivers:

• NVIDIA: Use GeForce Experience or download from NVIDIA’s website.
• AMD: Use AMD Adrenaline or visit AMD’s support page.
• Intel HD Graphics: Update via Intel’s Driver & Support Assistant.

6. Increase VRAM Allocation for Integrated Graphics (Intel HD Users)

If you’re using Intel HD Graphics, you can manually increase VRAM via BIOS:

1. Restart PC and enter BIOS (press F2, F10, or Del during boot).
2. Navigate to Advanced > Graphics Settings (varies by motherboard).
3. Find DVMT Pre-Allocated VRAM and set it to the highest value (e.g., 1024MB).
4. Save & Exit, then relaunch inZOI.

7. Use Cloud Gaming (GeForce Now, Stremio Alternatives)

If your PC is too weak, consider cloud gaming services like:

• GeForce Now (if inZOI gets added)
• Boosteroid or Shadow PC
• Stremio with gaming add-ons (for streaming alternatives)

🔹 Note: inZOI isn’t yet on GeForce Now, but if added, even low-end PCs can play it via streaming.

Final Thoughts

The “Insufficient Video Memory” error in inZOI can be fixed by:
✔ Increasing virtual memory
✔ Closing background apps
✔ Updating GPU drivers
✔ Forcing DX11 mode
✔ Using cloud gaming (like Stremio-compatible services)

If none of these work, you may need a dedicated GPU upgrade.
