”Run your own text to image prompts with CUDA, a bunch of disk space, and an insane amount of memory.”

The ”insane amount of memory” turned out to be 32 GB or more. I thought we are talking about 512 GB or something like that.

including the GPU memory I say it's insane :) -- Also, you need more than 32GB of RAM to follow the instructions verbatim in the repository. People were saying the scann indexing fails even with 64GB of RAM.

Many AM4 boards that cost 70€ or so support 128GB RAM.

128GB = 4x 32GB DDR4 UDIMM costs less than 360€.

That's a lot less than the GPU.

iirc any CUDA requirement requires an Nvidia GPU

[Tepix]

You can plug nVidia GPUs in AMD boards...

[throwaway743]

Yeah but that's out of the context of multiple am4 boards and their RAM caps being able to replace a GPU or being cheaper than a GPU.

Yeah they're technically cheaper than a GPU, but your costs are still gonna be up and they can't replace a GPU because regardless you'll need an nvidia card, unless there's a workaround for CUDA requirements.

I thought you need both a GPU and a lot of memory for the CPU.
