if you are using Automatic1111 you can force CPU use still, just FYI, with a modification to the file located in */stable-diffusion-webui/webui-user.bat
set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --use-cpu all --no-half --skip-torch-cuda-test --enable-insecure-extension-access
That’s what works for my PC anyway. Took me a while to figure that out so maybe you will get lucky and it will work for you as well. I only do this when I want to do things my 8Gb GPU can’t handle. The CPU is way slower than GPU, but not nearly as memory capped. (Dual Xeon E5-2630v4 2.2GHz , 64GB ram)
I just make a copy of webui-user.bat, rename it, make the above edit (if you want the browserr to launch automatically you can also you can also add in --autolaunch), then make a shortcut somewhere that points to the new file, and that shortcut is how i run A1111 in CPU only mode. Its non destructive this way, and you can still just use your normal startup method
Very well explained. Thanks for taking the time to help me understand it better.
