  iGPU’s can use system RAM to supplement VRAM. Might still be doable

    back in the day I had an ATI system that shared system ram through the iGPU to the GPU(both ATI). turned my 2gb GPU into 4gb and saved me from building a new system for like a decade.

    not sure if they do it anymore, but it’d be nice.

  There is a demo, so you can see if it will run well enough for you before you buy it.

        as a poor kid living in the sticks demo discs were the only way I could play many games.

        if it weren’t for them, I would have never gotten into games, nor computers, nor my career that has elevated my QOL.

        could say demo discs saved my life from many hardships.
