Nvidia blames Intel for GPU VRAM errors, tells GeForce gamers experiencing 13th or 14th Gen CPU instability to contact Intel support

Even Nvidia is aware of Intel's instability issues with Raptor Lake

Specifically, Nvidia's patch notes state that if 13th/14th Gen CPU owners are experiencing "...stability issues/out of video memory error messages/crash to desktop while the game is compiling shaders..." to consult two sites consisting of an Intel community page and a tutorial from Rad Game Tools on how to reduce CPU power limits to Intel's default specifications. The site is aware of potential instability issues during shader decompression in Unreal Engine when using a Raptor Lake/Raptor Lake Refresh chip. This behavior has been constant for several generations, but it is only now causing widespread problems with Intel's fast but hot and power-hungry Raptor Lake CPU architecture.
