Can virtual memory fix VRAM crashes on Vastarmor RX 9070 XT?

It's honestly a joke that a high-end card just gives up and crashes while I'm building a house. The 16GB on the Vastarmor RX 9070 XT hit a logic deadlock in the driver when handling too many repeated models, leading to a full system kernel crash. I tried disabling hardware acceleration in Windows, but that just cost me 15 FPS and the crashes kept happening every hour—a complete waste of my life. I finally manually set my Windows Page File to 32GB and flashed the latest AMD firmware. After a 6-hour OCCT stress test with zero errors, the crashes finally stopped. I made a mistake at first by putting the page file on a slow HDD, which made loading times eternal, so I moved it to an NVMe SSD. Core temps hovered around 65-72℃ with fans at 1300 RPM. I exported the crash dumps to verify the fix, and the fans stayed steady at 1300-1400 RPM.
