What are the hardware requirements to run SDXL?

In particular, how much VRAM is required?

This is assuming A1111 and not using --lowvram or --medvram.

    I am using a 3070 8gb FTW, and 32gb ddr5…I have yet to get SDXL to even generate without an error yet. I assumed it was my hardware.

      Nah, auto1111 seriously struggles with SDXL for me. But comfy manages to do it without issue.

        I tried ComyfyUI last night - but, unless I am just missing something, I couln’t get past the workflow screen. Thanks for the tip, I will keep tinkering with things.

        I tried InvokeAI, but was having the same problem. I got the safetensor directly from Stability AI’s hugging face page - so I have to be doing something wrong…3 different UIs and I couldn’t get any to work. I am losing my technical aptitude :)

          The best thing with comfy is you can drag a PNG image that was generated by it and it will replicate the workflow nodes. They have some images on their GitHub for examples
