I was curious, do you run Stable Diffusion locally? On someone else’s server? What kind of computer do you need to run SD locally?

    Runs fine with 1660, but that is about 20 sec for 512x512 and upscaling takes upwards of a minute.

    If you want to run it online I suggest paperspace paid tier, not too big of a hassle to set up but you might have to wait a couple mins spamming refresh to get a better GPU, the instance can run for 6 hours, then it will be autoshutdown. Generally 2-4sec for 512 and 10-20 for 1024. Also, you will have to either download models every time, settle for only two or three models at a time or fork up a couple extra bucks for the permanent storage as base paid is only 15GB.

    locally, always.

    I even got it to run without GPU on a pure old i5 CPU with 8GB system RAM (not VRAM) paired with 32GB swap. SD1.5 takes 4-10 minutes per image, SDXL about 2 hours. But it works. With GPU its between 7 and 90 seconds per image, depending on model and settings.
