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
