I just found out that the NVIDIA driver on Linux simply cannot utilise the system RAM when your GPU is running out of VRAM. Allocations will simply fail.

That fucking sucks.

Windows is apparently remarkably good at managing video memory, so many games simply rely on that and don't take into account how much VRAM is used or available.

Seems like AMD's drivers (Mesa) can deal with this, but I'm not sure.

3/ BTW a related PSA for users of modern #AMD GPUs on #Fedora Linux:

To install va-drivers with support for hardware acceleration of AV1, H264, and H265, enable #RPMFusion free repo if you haven't yet and run this:

sudo dnf install mesa-va-drivers-freeworld

The days of "sudo dnf swap mesa-va-drivers mesa-va-drivers-freeworld" are over, as the conflict with Fedora's va-driver package is not needed anymore. 😀
