I have a laptop with a serviceable GPU but only 16gb of ram, and another with a low tier GPU but 32gb of ram. Wondering, will it be too slow to use the later as the control plane and delegate inference to the former laptop using something like comfyui to run text-to-image models?
- friedtofu 2y agoI referenced this already, but definitely check out https://github.com/city96/ComfyUI_NetDist?tab=readme-ov-file#simple-multi-machine https://github.com/city96/ComfyUI_NetDist?tab=readme-ov-file... I guess that depends on what you mean by "too slow". What card is the low tier GPU? A Nvidia Tesla? I've always been under the assumption that when running two cards in parallel the faster card will almost always slow down to the speed of the card with the most memory, though the only reference I have is from using Nvidia SLI with two 8800s almost a decade ago. I could also be completely and utterly wrong, would love to hear from anyone in the field of GPU architecture or around it for some clarification though :)
- gchamonlive 2y agoShould have given more info, indeed. One notebook has a 3070ti which has 8gb of vram and the other is a mx150, which I guess has 2gb dedicated vram.
