<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body> Well, it's not arguing. I'm just pointing out the problems. Those issues were discovered because I'm trying to raise the limit for a couple of years now. I've also already hacked together the necessary functionality, but upstreaming them has caused other issues which I don't have time to solve. If you have time to tackle those, I'm happy to push the necessary patches upstream.

Broken apps will be handled by app profiles. The problem is that some games don't work with the current limit on the most powerful consumer APU we've ever made (Rembrandt) with precisely the games that the APU was made for, and instead of increasing the limit, we continue arguing about some TTM stuff that doesn't help anything right now. <div dir="auto"> <div dir="auto"> </div> <div dir="auto">Marek</div> </div> </div> <div class="gmail_quote"> <div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri., May 20, 2022, 14:25 Christian König, <<a href="mailto:ckoenig.leichtzumerken@gmail.com" moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">ckoenig.leichtzumerken@gmail.com</a>> wrote: </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Am 20.05.22 um 19:41 schrieb Bas Nieuwenhuizen: > On Fri, May 20, 2022 at 11:42 AM Christian König > <<a href="mailto:ckoenig.leichtzumerken@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">ckoenig.leichtzumerken@gmail.com</a>> wrote: >> In theory we should allow much more than that.

That's a really good argument, but the issue is that it is fixable. It's just that nobody had time to look into all the issues. If started efforts to fix this years ago, but there was always something more important going on. So we are left with the choice of breaking old applications or new applications or getting somebody working on fixing this.
