How these options are selected

Up to three platforms, with the lowest dated reference price on each. Unknown prices follow known prices. Each memory pool keeps a reserve: 30% (minimum 2 GB) for system or unified memory; 20% (minimum 1 GB) for dedicated VRAM. System RAM is for CPU inference. This check does not establish GPU allocation, software support or context capacity.
