04About the Radeon 8060S (Strix Halo) 96 GB
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'.

05Questions
How much VRAM does MiniMax H3 Pruned need?
Around 14.7 GB with the smallest file (Q3_K_M) and 26.8 GB with an 8-bit file (FP8). The full 16-bit file needs about 46.0 GB.
Which MiniMax H3 Pruned file should I download for the Radeon 8060S (Strix Halo) 96 GB?
16-bit (40.2 GB) from Comfy-Org/MiniMax-H3.
FP8 or Q8_0 for MiniMax H3 Pruned on the Radeon 8060S (Strix Halo) 96 GB?
Q8_0 (21.6 GB). The Radeon 8060S (Strix Halo) 96 GB has no FP8 maths, so FP8 (21.0 GB) only saves memory and is a step further from the original.
How much do I need to download for MiniMax H3 Pruned on the Radeon 8060S (Strix Halo) 96 GB?
73.2 GB: minimax_h3_fl2va_pruned_bf16.safetensors, qwen3vl_32b_minimax_h3_int8_convrot.safetensors, minimax_h3_video_vae_fp16.safetensors, minimax_h3_audio_vae_fp32.safetensors.
