Some NVK VRAM Sharing benchmarks and my conclusion

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2026 - 13:34

Hello everyone! :)

I did some more testing with the Nouveau patch for VRAM Sharing in NVK and from what I saw DXVK lags more when VRAM is full but doesn't crash. VKD3D seems to handle it much better but when new shaders (?) need to be compiled it frezees completely (might be some NVK issue though too, I don't know).

Here are some videos with NVK_HUD enabled which also shows VRAM usage:

gamescope - frame limiter not working (unless gamescopectl debug_set_fps_limit)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2026 - 13:26

Hi, ok gamescope seems pretty cool in a nerdy way, however, the feature i first got it for i can't get to work right!

everywhere says -r sets refresh limit (and that vsync may need to be on). ive tried the old (deprecated?) max framerate command also, not working.

however this is completely ignored in every app I've tried (including vkcube), it just runs as fast as it can.

but but but! gamescopectl debug_set_fps_limit works! so it can work. it just won'tf from the command line? which makes it pretty impractical.

any ideas please? :)

System: AMD Ryzen 2400g, AMD WX5100 (also tried with RX550), 32GB RAM, Linux 6.18.18 KDE NEON. Main monitor is freesync. gamescope version 3.16.19-1~24.04.3 (gcc 13.3.0).

I'm wondering if this may have to do with using two gfx cards (kinda, i have the igpu enabled and gamescope runs on it, perfectly, weirdly - i get garbage if i try to force gamescope to the dgpu, which is running the games - that's a separate question?) and two monitors? hmm!

update: playing with vkcube, just noticed something interesting. -r does do something, just not what you expect. for example, vkcube drops from 360 to about 160fps with -r 60. adaptivesync also makes a difference. this is weird. i'm using mangoapp btw. and -r 30 shows around 50fps. odd!
