Intel, which makes a lot of CPUs, has had a lot of problems with its Core i9-13900K and Core i7-13700K processors². The issue, which makes some of the newest games crash, is being blamed on the BIOS settings on the motherboard².
The Trouble
Core i9-13900K and Core i7-13700K users have said that some of the newest games crash, usually with an error message that says “out of video memory”². This problem isn’t just happening to regular end users; GPU reviewers have also had it and it’s been talked about in a number of forums².
The Reason
It looks like the issue is with the BIOS settings on the motherboard². Some motherboards’ factory settings don’t work right with these CPUs². At least two developers and Nvidia have confirmed that the “out of video memory error” is caused by 13th Gen CPUs². This is not just a rumor going around on forums.
Intel’s Answer
Intel has acknowledged the reports that some workloads are giving Intel Core 13th and 14th Gen unlocked desktop processors trouble². Along with its partners, the company is looking into the problems that have been reported².
The Answer
The problem has been fixed by making changes to the BIOS settings². The problem seems to be fixed after loading the optimized default BIOS settings. This fix might not work for all users, though, and the problem might still be there for some.
Bottom Line
People who are having this issue should check their motherboard’s BIOS settings while Intel works on a fix. If the problem doesn’t go away, they should contact Intel or the company that made their motherboard for more help². These details should be taken with a grain of salt until a full solution is found.
