📰 Intel Drivers With Mesa 26.2 Ready With Xe In Linux 7.1 To Better Handle vRAM Pressure Merged to the Intel Xe kernel graphics driver with Linux 7.1 is an addition to improve the video RAM memory pressure or out-of-memory behavior for Intel graphics with dedicated video memory. Introduced is support for purgeable buffer objects via a new user-space API to provide usage hints for enhancing what is purged under vRAM pressure. Merged this week to Mesa 26.2-devel is support for the Intel Mesa drivers to make use of this new interface... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-Mesa-26.2-Memory-Pressure #intel#kernel#linux
