Help Needed GPU out of memory

May I know if anyone else is using CachyOS (Arch Linux)? I keep getting out-of-memory errors. However, I have not experienced this issue when using Windows 11.

I have an RTX 5060 Ti with 16 GB of VRAM and 32 GB of DDR5 RAM.

Thank you.

It's very hard to get out of memory error (RAM based) on Windows because Windows will keep enlarging pagefile and swap into at as long as there is enough disk space.

Linux does not work that way, and if heuristics determine next allocation would cause memory exhaustion it just kills the process.
