Dedicated GPU memory guides
These Windows/NVIDIA guide pages use dedicated GPU memory as the primary fit budget and keep partial offload separate from a full GPU fit.

Apple Silicon unified-memory guides
Apple Silicon pages use conservative unified-memory budgets and Metal-capable local inference terminology instead of treating the Mac as a CUDA workstation.
Fit caveats
These are deterministic memory-planning checks, not benchmark claims. Context length, runtime settings, offload behavior, and concurrent apps can change practical fit.
