- lkois 4y agoNah that's normal. It's why GPUs are the usual thing for AI. Any crap, old, weak gpu with 4gb memory would run circles around a cpu It's often easier to actually get models to run on CPU, due to simpler install configs and more available memory. Just painful to get a result out of it. Which might help keep the install simple, because it's not even worth optimizing

In any case, it’s impressive even if it takes minutes. And it’s not like you need to be there to make it work. You can create a list of prompts, let it do its thing and check the results later.
- hwers 4y agoI have 4 gb and it takes about 9 seconds for me :) (Tho at 448x448 but there’s no real difference in quality.)
- kgwgk 4y agoGood to know it works. That’s not a crap, old, weak gpu, I guess. I’ve not tried that size but I tried 256x256 and it was too small to get interesting results - maybe there are some parameters that can be adjusted to improve it though.
