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'.
