Offload
10%
It fits through host-memory offload, and offload is the main reason performance drops.
CPU or host-memory offload is active
About 10% of the working set spills out of accelerator memory, which usually hurts latency and sustained decode throughput.
Very little memory headroom
You can run the model, but there is not much room left for longer context, bigger batches, extra apps, or future model updates.
Remove offload with more accelerator memory
Prioritize a GPU or unified-memory tier that fits the whole model natively. Removing offload usually helps more than small compute gains.
Buy headroom, not only minimum fit
A slightly larger memory tier gives you safer context growth and makes the recommendation more future-proof.
Increase host RAM if you keep offloading
This setup may need roughly 0.4 GB of extra host RAM just for the offloaded portion, before OS and other tools.

Yes, RX 5600 XT 6GB can run Falcon H1R 7B with a D grade (Very compromised (needs ~0.4 GB host RAM)). Expected decode speed: 21.6 tok/s.
Falcon H1R 7B (7B parameters) requires approximately 6.6 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for Falcon H1R 7B is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On RX 5600 XT 6GB, Falcon H1R 7B achieves approximately 21.6 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 8967ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, Falcon H1R 7B on RX 5600 XT 6GB receives a D grade with 21.6 tok/s and 4K context.
On RX 5600 XT 6GB, Falcon H1R 7B can safely use up to 4K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is —, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
