When working on allocating a lot of small (~2MB) allocations, I noticed that doing a memset on 2MB + 1 byte allocations will fail instead of the malloc failing. For devices without enough GPU memory for certain applications, such as RTX 3070, this causes crashes of the program for situations requiri…

Newer Drivers fail when allocating Memory Chunks of 2MB + 1 byte on multiple devices
