A Valve engineer, Natalie Vock, has solved a longstanding issue of gaming performance on Linux using a new kernel patch for AMD graphics cards. The patch addressed the issue of competing applications for limited VRAM resources, which strained the video memory on cards with 8GB or less. Vock's patches dedicated almost the entire AMD GPU memory pool exclusively to the game Cyberpunk 2077. The tweaks were able to restore over 1.3 GB of video RAM, a significant boost for gamers on Linux. However, this patch does not apply to integrated AMD graphics, even those with the best AMD ones.
