Finally Found A Game My 5070 Ti Can't Run

Ah yes, the classic developer experience: dropping $1,500 on a GPU that can render entire universes in real-time, only to be humbled by a game from 2002 that requires "at least two MBs of video memory." The RTX 5070 Ti probably has 16GB of VRAM, which is roughly 16,000 MB, but somehow the game's ancient detection logic is like "nope, can't find it, sorry buddy." It's the digital equivalent of having a PhD but failing a kindergarten math test because you wrote your answer in cursive. Fun fact: Many old games hardcoded their system checks for hardware that existed at the time, so they literally don't know how to recognize modern GPUs. Your cutting-edge graphics card is essentially invisible to software that was written when flip phones were peak technology. The game is sitting there with its little 32-bit brain going "What's an RTX? Is that a type of dinosaur?"
