I’ve been doing some testing regarding the VRAM issue.
On any 555 driver, VRAM fills up increadibly quick, even dragging a window makes Kwin_wayland use 2GB of VRAM for some reason. I can get my games to crash XWayland in less than 10 minutes due to VRAM hitting 9.9Gib/10Gib used.
On 550 drivers, it takes a lot longer for VRAM to fill. I’ve set my game’s texture to maximum to try and fill it up as much as I could. VRAM hit 9.996Gib/10Gib and after 30 minutes, not a single crash. The frames were dipping every time it went past 9.8Gib though, then some VRAM would be cleared and my frames would go back to normal, rinse and repeat.
