    Question about how shared VRAM works

    So I need to specify in the BIOS the split, and then it’s dedicated at runtime, or can I allocate VRAM dynamically as needed by workload?

    On macos you don’t really have to think about this, so wondering how this compares.

      On my 7800, it’s static. The 2GB I allocate is not usable for the CPU, and compute apps don’t like it “overflowing” past that.

      This is on Linux, on a desktop, ASRock mobo. YMMV.
