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.
It's typically dynamic
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.
It will most likely be dynamic, with the option to statically set it.
