A signed GPU result must prove that the GPU path actually ran.

When a remote benchmark model is larger than a discrete card's memory, a quiet CPU fallback would produce a number—but not the number requested.

lizard-native can instead stream weights through the Direct3D 12 decode lane. It is slower than full residency, and the result says so, but the measurement remains a genuine DirectX path with adapter and backend evidence.

A slower honest result is more useful than a faster mislabeled one.

Engineering fact: For remote benchmarks on a discrete GPU smaller than the model, lizard-native can stream weights through the D3D12 lane rather than silently reporting a CPU fallback as GPU.
