Models can split loads across a discrete GPU and CPU/RAM.

Its not as fast as if you can load it all in the GPU, but it gives you more options. Its been quite common for a long time.

Yeah, that's what I refer to with offloading. Depending on the model and runtime it might be a bit fiddly but it usually works fine.
