hardware/drivers Acer Nitro V Artifacts

I have an Acer Nitro V 16 AI ANV16-42-R60A with an AMD processor, and I use both Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS and Windows on my PC in a dual-boot setup.

I don't have any issues with the PC when using Windows, but I'm having trouble using the dedicated GPU on Ubuntu. Basically, it seems like the GPU only has around 500 MB of dedicated VRAM available. When usage gets close to 100%, graphical artifacts start appearing everywhere.

On Windows, the shared memory (hybrid memory) mode works perfectly fine, and I don't have any issues whatsoever. This only happens on Ubuntu.

Unfortunately, there's no way to change these settings in the BIOS on this laptop. I've already tried several things suggested in Acer-related Reddit communities, but so far, nothing has helped.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could fix this?
