3 years ago I can say this issue happens with myself as well. The VRAM just starts climbing and can get to several thousand percent above what it could possibly be.
My system:
Gigabyte R9 270 2GB | Mesa 20.3.1 | Manjaro 20.2 | Mate 1.24.1 | Kernel 5.10.2-2-MANJARO | X11

3 years ago As mentioned in #108, this is probably a kernel bug. This means that radeontop can't really do anything about this. We should decide if anyone here wants to open a bug report in Linux, as suggested by @clbr. We should find out approximately what kernel version this started with tho.

3 years ago IIRC this started at around version 5.9.x. I'm only going from memory since I didn't write it down.

3 years ago I just tried with 5.4.97 LTS and the values there actually seem OK. So this is indeed caused by a kernel bug.

3 years ago I tried a very simple search to see if there is already a bug report about this but it seems like there isn't.

3 years ago Hi everyone, I'm on kernel 5.11.1 and it seems that the issue is resolved, but now, in-use VRAM/GTT is always zero !

3 years ago On Linux Ryzen 5.11.8, using rx570 GPU with 4GB VRAM and it looks working proper now.

3 years ago I just tested with Kernel 5.11.9 on a Radeon HD 2000 Mobile Series GPU (radeon driver) and it still shows zero for the memory values.
Hi, I use 1GB GPU. After opening lots of tabs at Firefox, under wayland radeontop, shows VRAM > 98 GB and GTT > 300GB
Yes, if GPU memory is not enough, than some of system ram is used. But I just have 32GB RAM at my system and info shown on radeontop looks not correct. It has to be some bugs at driver level or radeontop.
