Can the Radeon 8060S (Strix Halo) 96 GB run HiDream-O1-Image?
Download 16-bit (16.4 GB). With the model's working memory it needs about 19.2 GB, leaving 76.8 GB spare on 96 GB. Quality: the original weights.
01What to download
| Part | File | Folder | Size | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Checkpoint | hidream_o1_image_bf16.safetensors 16-bit · Comfy-Org/HiDream-O1-Image | models/checkpoints | 16.4 GB | Download → |
| Total download · keep about the same free on disk | 16.4 GB | |||
One file: this model has no separate text encoder or VAE. Sizes read from Hugging Face (2026-09-25). “Download” links start the file directly; the file name links are the same files the official ComfyUI workflows use.
Shared memory: about 22.4 GB of your 128 GB. On this machine the model, the text encoder, the VAE and the operating system all use the same memory. That leaves room, so nothing has to be swapped to disk. calculated
02Every HiDream-O1 file on 96 GB
| File | Size | Needed | On this card | Quality | Download |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16-bit ← SAFETENSORS · Comfy-Org | 16.4 GB | 19.2 GB | fits · 76.8 GB spare | the original weights | Hugging Face → |
| FP8 SAFETENSORS · Comfy-Org | 8.1 GB | 10.9 GB | fits · 85.1 GB spare | practically identical to the original | Hugging Face → |
Sizes from the Hugging Face file listing, read 2026-09-25. “Needed” = file + 2 GB working memory for this model + 0.8 GB kept free for the system. The Comfy-Org files are complete checkpoints (loaded from the checkpoints folder); there is no separate text encoder or VAE to add. No GGUF version was found.
03The text encoder
This model has no separate text encoder: reading the prompt is built into the model itself, so its memory is already in the file sizes above.
04About this GPU
This is an integrated GPU that uses system memory. AMD states that up to 96 GB of the 128 GB can be set aside as graphics memory on Windows, which is why it can hold models no consumer graphics card can. The catch is speed: the GPU itself (40 compute units) is far smaller than a big desktop card, and its memory bandwidth is a fraction of one, so each step takes much longer. Treat the verdicts here as 'it fits', not 'it is fast'.

05What more VRAM would change
Nothing to gain for this model: the Radeon 8060S (Strix Halo) 96 GB already runs a top-quality file entirely in VRAM. More memory would only help with bigger images, longer clips or several models at once.
06Measured and reported results
Nobody has sent measured numbers for this pair yet. If you run HiDream-O1 on a Radeon 8060S (Strix Halo) 96 GB, send your time per image and peak VRAM and it will appear here, credited.
07Questions
How much VRAM does HiDream-O1 need?
Around 10.9 GB with the smallest file (FP8) and 10.9 GB with an 8-bit file (FP8), counting working memory and a small system reserve. The full 16-bit file needs about 19.2 GB.
Which HiDream-O1 file should I download for the Radeon 8060S (Strix Halo) 96 GB?
16-bit (16.4 GB) from Comfy-Org/HiDream-O1-Image.
Is FP8 faster than GGUF on the Radeon 8060S (Strix Halo) 96 GB?
No. This GPU has no FP8 compute, so ComfyUI converts FP8 weights back before the maths. FP8 only saves memory here; Q8_0 GGUF is the closer-to-original 8-bit pick.
How much do I need to download for HiDream-O1 on the Radeon 8060S (Strix Halo) 96 GB?
About 16.4 GB for the model file, text encoder and VAE listed on this page, and the same again free on disk. With a 96 GB card, 32 GB of system RAM or more is recommended.
