Description
When low on VRAM, the software is doing something under the hood to free up VRAM this is accompanied by a message from Memory Management in the console.
This feature would be useful to have a cmd flag to disable, as it causes problems with some of my other applications (Causes them to start flickering black). I'd prefer in this instance the generation simply failed with a message telling me I'm out of VRAM than my other applications breaking and needing to be restarted.
It does not need to default to this behaviour, but simply having a flag so I can disable it myself would be much appreciated!

Research direction
Start by tracing the Memory Management path that frees VRAM and how command-line flags are defined. Add a flag that disables automatic freeing, then verify that low VRAM produces a failure message while the default behavior remains unchanged.
