On windows11, i found if I have a model that is larger than 16GB, it spillover to ram, at

Take note that I ask an LLM to compose this, but all is on point. 💥 MS-S1 Max/Strix Halo eGPU Users: I Found the Fix! 💥 For everyone struggling with getting an eGPU to reliably connect (especially via hotplug) to the Minisforum MS-S1 Max' rear ports on Linux, I've confirmed the absolute core workaro

MS-S1 MAX with Oculink 4x pci card + DEG1 Oculink + RTX5080 tested.I managed to get it working (Linux and Windows see both the integrated gpu AND the RTX5080). Really hard to make it work.

There's pros and cons to all these setups but if you're looking for a powerhouse combo I would try to find a strix halo with 64-128gb ram and usb 4v2 or thunderbolt 5 connectivity. I'm not sure there are many options like this available yet and the ones that are available aren't perfect like the min
