DWM quite literally does that all the time. For the general case it allocates GPU memory, but also swaps to system RAM or uses it as a synchronization mechanic when you have one sc…

And I would take a proper homemade burger over an injection of bleach or a full breath of Zyklon B, but maybe compare what is comparable. Default uneducated behavior to respond to …
