So I downloaded the redshift demo...and it errors out right away with a message about it being unable to operate with less than 256mb of free vram. All of the values other than the card type are at 0 or 0kb. Any ideas?
I have a gtx 560 ti i believe with 1 gig. No sli setup. I was looking to upgrade to the 970 gtx near black friday but I was really hoping I could get a preview of redshift soon to help decide on maybe a next level workstation card if it would greatly help. Backburner's server.exe refuses to run on my second computer so I cant even try anything there and see if there is a way to queue an mi2 file. This is fun!
