Doesn't Windows already do this by default? I can already run models bigger than my GPU VRAM and it will start using up to 50% of my system RAM as "shared memory". This is on a Desktop PC without a shared memory architecture.

The nvidia windows driver enables RAM swapping by default.

Great way to backstab you if you prefer inference speed.

I don't think Windows does this, but Ollama does
