VP9&VPX :D3D device does only support power of 2 textures error starting table

[Clsx]

HI ;

I've inherited a second hand laptop from an acquaintance , which is a Fujitsu with i5 processor and 4gb ram , 500 gb hdd , running Windows 7

It is far from ideal for gaming , but newer and faster than my current Gateway i3 laptop (from 2014?) I think

I'd assume the new Fujitsu would be more than enough for VP9 (which my Gateway run very good without noticeable lag or whatever with high gfx settings)

I've installed VPX7 aio installer , updated pinmame to latest beta , copied my tables and rom files , set it up as it should

But every time I start a new table this D3D error pops up (both VP9 and VPX)

After I click OK it runs the table normally? without noticeable glitch or error

But it's a nuisance and want to know what causes it and how it could be fixed

The laptop has its latest gfx drivers installed , has DX11 , I've installed VB runtimes , everything else seem to run normally

I'm pretty sure it is capable of running VP9 at least , because I even used to play VP9 on my older Celeron laptop with Windows XP , it ran mostly great without such error

Best regards

The question is, what D3D error?

4GB ram was short even then especially if that Fujitsu doesn't have a dedicated GPU and shares memory with the iGPU. Maybe you can add the module from the i3 to the i5? It is usually easy to do on laptops but then again, depends on the manufacturer and if that fujitsu has an expasion slot or not.

The upside is that an i5 is a lot better than an i3.

Regarding D3d, try to install this (maybe it is because of dx9) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109

Thanks , I will install it and try again when I get home :)

I think it doesn't have dedicated GPU , nor does my Gateway i3 , which also has 4gb ram
