If it fits in system memory, is it still faster on GPU than CPU? Does that involve swapping out one layer at a time? Otherwise I'm very curious how it handles the PCIe latency.

Enough system memory to fit 84GB isn't all that expensive...

Yes, the connection between system memory and the GPU isn’t fast enough to keep the compute units fed with data to process. Generally PCIe latency isn’t as much of a problem as bandwidth.
