Linux 7.3 improves performance when running out of vRAM
Summary
The article discusses Linux kernel VRAM overcommitment for GPUs, upstream patches aimed at improving stability and performance when VRAM runs out. It covers kernel-level eviction mechanics, deadlock scenarios in AMDGPU, heuristics to throttle eviction, and the potential for application hints to guide memory prioritization, with notes on SteamOS integration and upstreaming progress.
