My GTX 960 is reporting there there is not enough memory, even when another person the same card is able to render it fine. The other person had the same set up as I do and rendered the same scenes. He did not have this issue.
I'm a render farmer for black plasma studios and I have come across this problem with my rendering recently. I was doing a benchmark test for them and blender gave the error (in the title).
But I got the error on my second test:
as you can see it renders the first square but then runs out of memory after that. It did not render at all until I updated my graphics drivers with GeForce Experience. This helped a little but the render still didn't finish.
I seem to get this error a lot now and I would assume a better graphics card would be needed but someone else in the group has the same one that I have and he can do it just fine.
