It works fine in HD timeline, but when switching to 4k I receive this erorr: GPU Full.
Is there a way to deliver 4k/25p without errors? Like managing to export slower but with no errors?

Not on that machine. Your GPU's VRAM is too small for 4K.

I'm having the same issue with a rtx 2070 max Q.

And I got the same message with an HD timeline. Apparently it even complained about the number of nodes.

I wasn't getting that in the previous version.

Just to ensure:
Preferences.System
a) ->Memory and GPU.GPU Configuration
--> Set to "Auto", or excplicitely set to "GTX 965M"? Tried to disable GPU processing?
b) ->Memory and GPU.Memory Configuration
--> Tried max/min values? This not directly applies to VRAM, but might have impact onto RAM sharing.

In principle, 2nd generation Maxwell should be capable of decoding and encoding 4k video. That's not all needed here, though.

Here's one of the reasons why I am constantly saying "You can't do this job on a Laptop."

You need a new GPU. But on a Laptop, the hardware isn't as easily upgraded.

Build a new desktop.
