Besides telling me to get a new card, and knowing I play mostly older/emulation games, is there any optimizations I can do with 6400 4 GB card?

Running Bazzite as the OS and 16 GBs of ram.

Kernel 7.3 should help here, with VRAM management patches coming that will help with low VRAM GPUs. It's not released yet, however.

    Good point. If a game requires more VRAM, then the system at least does not freeze and crash. Instead it will use up system RAM for the overhead to have a stable system. But this can mean lower performance if this happens, which is off course preferable over freezing and crashing.
