Anyone else struggling to run SD XL? Im on an older PC with a 10 gig 3080, 32GB system RAM. Using automatic1111.

Loading up the model alone is a struggle, but I was able to get stable performance (and no nan errors, or out of memory errors) by using med vram and sdp attention (as opposed to xformers, which was having errors after a generating a few images).

The real weird part it will straight up freeze up trying to load the model, or generate an image - unless I minimize my browser. Then suddenly it starts working at a decent 2.8 it/s (1024x768, DPM++ 2M SDE KARRAS, 25 samples). Needless to say, I havent even attempted to use the refiner model, as switching/loading models takes several minutes.

Just curious what everyone's experience with trying to run SD XL so far has been? The output is awesome and playing with it has been pretty fun, but frustrating.

Just tried it for the first time, crashed my PC. 10/10 would recommend.

It's so cute!

I'm giving comfy UI a shot and it seems ridiculously faster than automatic at loading and generating

I've got it running on a RTX2060. It loads up fairly fast but after a switching models a couple of times I sometimes get out of memory errors, regardless of the image size. The only solution is to kill the process and restart it. There's probably a memory leak somewhere. Generations at 1024x1024 and with 20 steps take around 10 seconds on my machine.

Same here, it uses way too much RAM. Seems like there's a memory leak.

Sadly, wait for a1111 updates or use comfyui

Yeah, just wasn't sure if it was my system, my setup, or sdxl. Since automatic is so finicky.
