And that works automagically on the next boot? Because that sounds like
the right thing to do.
So practically, what happens to a GPU in such a case where the VRAM
starts going bad? It might get exhausted eventually and the driver will
say something along the lines of:
"VRAM bad pages: 80%, consider replacing the GPU. It is operating
currently with degrated performance."
or so?
Yap, from a RAS perspective, that makes good sense as you're prolonging
the life of the component while still remains operational as good as it
can and the only user interaction you need is she/he replacing it.
Sounds good.
Thx.
