Linux VRAM Overcommit, Explained: Why Low‑VRAM Games Fail (and How Linux Fixes It)
Linux’s newer VRAM-prioritization work uses DMEM device-memory cgroups (dmemcg) plus helpers like dmemcg-booster and plasma-foreground-booster to stop background apps from evicting a foreground game’s VRAM into slower GTT, reducing both stutter and submission-time failures when memory is tight.
