I understand that, however the issue isn't that Steam doesn't work, but that some FPS-type games are too laggy to be usable, i.e. the problem is performance rather than function. I may look into it at some point but for now I've just settled on using suspend instead of hibernate, and that works fine.

greetings poc.
you do not mention if problem system is a desktop or laptop, tho such may not matter.
in following your thread, there are a couple things that i wonder about.
1- did problem start after an update or some other system change? 2- why do you place fault with graphics card? 3- is swap partition of adequate size to hold running programs that are using memory/disk space along with running system?
i installed centos 6 on a laptop and left oos in event i need to upgrade bios.
as like with my desktop system laptop is powered up 24/7 and i use 'suspend to disk' when i take it somewhere.
on 1 occasion, i was not able to 'suspend to disk'. after much checking failed to find problem, i reverted to a full power down.
days later, i needed to collect and save a bunch of files to a usb memory stick. to see which partitions had space to hold collection, i ran a script 'dfs' [aka 'df -k|grep /dev/sd|sort'] to see what was available and opened 'disk utility' to mount usb memory stick.
still unknown to me as to why, i clicked on the hdd and to my surprise, i found that extended partition was showing an ntfs partition at start of extended partition.
how such happened, i have no clue. deleting ntfs partition cleared my suspend problem.
thus is reason for questions 2 & 3 above, and suggestion that you might check to insure that your swap partition is of adequate size.
much luck.
