    I mean, it's still a problem, just less of one. Still gonna be an issue with high texture games that cache to VRAM. But this looks to be a 1080p machine, so I suppose that wouldn't be too big a deal here, unless the textures aren't scaled for the resolution (some games do that these days, but I don't know if it's common).

    I run Arch Linux with a RTX 3080 Mobile with 16GB*. Games regularly use 10-14 of those (some even higher) even at 1080p, so yes, it's a problem in Linux.

    * Apparently, 16GB on the 3080 is not normal for Desktop or for Mobile. I have learned recently it appears to be an MSI laptop exclusive. Weird, but I got lucky :)
