    Im getting away with my 8gb for now.

    Its the language/text stuff that really needs like 30gb GPUs.

      I don’t think that you can do the current XL models with 8GB, even for low-resolution images. Maybe with --lowvram or something.

      I’ve got a 24GB RX 7900 XT and would render higher resolution images if I had the VRAM – yeah, you can sometimes sort of get a similar effect by upscaling in tiles, but it’s not really a replacement. And I am confident that even if they put a consumer card out with 128GB, someone will figure out some new clever extension that does something fascinating and useful…as long as one can devote a little more memory to it…

        I do XL all the time, at about 30-45 seconds per image. 8gb is surprisingly enough for SDXL, and I run like 7gb models with 3-6 Lora on top.
