After upgrading from 15.1 to 15.3, Lightroom Classic now crashes on startup.

Ah, starting with Lightroom 15.2, the GPU needs to have 4GB of RAM because AI. So I am up ship creek without a paddle.

Another reason to hate AI.

Thanks for making my life more difficult, Adobe.

You need to give more information. What hardware are you using and what OS? If Windows, then check the website of your GPU manufacturer for driver updates. If you use a Ndivia GPU, then make sure you install the Studio drivers, not the Game Ready drivers.

If you still get a crash on startup, then try if resetting the preferences helps.

No, I don't have a million dollars to buy a new GPU, IF I can find one to buy.
