    Well it works anyway even with a bit of occupied vram, but you could also buy a cheap videocard to use as an output. I have small intel card like that in my server for jellyfin transcoding, I think I paid 60€ for it, it hardly uses any power

      I actually did exactly that previously! I had both an RX 6800 XT and an RX 6600 in my system and I used the 6600 for video output. Unfortunately, this cuts my RX 6800 XT from PCIe 4 16x to PCIe 4 8x and severely slows down model loading for llama-swap. Joys of the X570!

      And yes, I do have it running right now with a bit of occupied VRAM, but I need to limit my model to 14 GB to leave 2 GB free for GNOME Shell. I really want one of those 64 GB UMA Mac Mini, I heard they work really well because the GPU has direct access to system RAM.
