Halo Infinite players on PC are encountering an unfortunate error message. Whether installing via Xbox Game Pass or Steam, users are seeing the “Could not find compatible graphics device” pop-up. In full, the notification reads: “Could not find compatible graphics device due to the following missing feature: Hardware Tiled Resources Tier 2. Please ensure you have a DirectX 12 compatible graphics adaptor and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer.” Here’s the need-to-know info on the quickest, easiest, and best solution to this GPU and Video RAM (VRAM) issue.
Halo Infinite: How to fix “Could not find compatible graphics device” error
Here’s how to solve the Halo Infinite graphics device compatibility issues on PC:
- Type “dxdiag” (without quotes) into the Windows search bar.
- Run the dxdiag command, then click the Display tab.
- Ensure that the GPU has at least 4,000 MB (4 GB) Display Memory.
- Under the System tab, check that the DirectX Version is DirectX 12.
- If it isn’t, press the Windows + I keys.
- Click Windows Update at the top of the screen.
- Select the Check for updates option.
- Install the latest Nvidia or AMD GPU drivers.
After successfully following all of the above steps, Halo Infinite’s compatible graphics device error should stop appearing.
Unfortunately, users that don’t have 4 GB VRAM aren’t eligible to play. The only solution in this instance is to upgrade the graphics card, accommodating the minimum specs to run Halo Infinite on a computer. There is a potential for 343 Industries to release an update, patch, or hotfix further optimizing the game to lower the recommended specs; currently, however, there’s nothing official to indicate that this will happen.
