Another new day a new resumption

How much times does your SD to generate? I have Nvidia, RTX 3080 GPU card, but it takes long to generate a photo with Juggernaut almost 5 minutes, is that normal? They say something about CPU/GPU/NV and Ram/VRAM cach or so.

On my machine it takes a couple of minutes to generate an image, can be a lot longer with some options. The thing that seems to have most impact on speed is the memory usage, my graphics card has 12GB of VRAM. With SDXL checkpoints it usually uses all of this and some of the time needs additional RAM. SD seems to cap RAM usage at an additional 15.9GB (i.e. half my machine's 32GB RAM, you have to leave some to run Windows). If it uses all the additional 15.9GB, it starts swapping to disk cache, this is when things really slow down! You can use the Task Manager to see what you machine is doing (see screen print below for what mine is doing.

This is a view of the Performance tab with GPU selected. The two plots at bottom are labelled GPU Memory (i.e. VRAM) and Shared Memory (RAM). As you can see I'm using all my VRAM and occasionally some RAM as well. I've switched the half-width plot on the right above the GPU Memory plot (click on the label and you get a list of options) to show CUDA utilisation, this is running at 100% most of the time using SD. The main thing that impacts memory usage is the size of the image being generated, yours appear to be 1024 by 1024 with an upscale of 1.5, this is the same as I would use for a square SDXL image, so I don't think there's any issue here. You could try the Lightning or Hyper versions of JuggernautXL, they should require much fewer steps to produce good images.

OK, you can use task manager to see what's using the machine resources. With SD it'll usually be Python.

I have the same screen but I don't see Cuda. I donwloaded version 12.5 but can't see it on the control panel, what's wrong?

[Scarol]

The real pain in the ass are the seeds, do you use random number (like 98388283 for a example) a number to get your photo's? I'm gambling everytime to generate a photo what I would like to see.

The Cuda plot isn't shown in the Task Manager by default, you have to choose it yourself. The normal plot in the position where my screen shot is showing Cuda is Video Decode. If you click on Video Decode you should see a list of options to select from, one of these should be Cuda.

I don't normally use a specific seed number, I leave it on -1 and let SD/A1111 pick the seed. When I generate I'm not trying to get a specific picture, I just let it keep generating pictures and select the ones I like and think worth posting. Each generate is a gamble, as you put it, I push it into the area for interest with prompt and tell it the things I'd like in the image and see what it comes up with. Some are good, some aren't, I generate a lot of images so I have a good selection to pick from.

I checked everthing, I even downloaded Anaconda en then try Pytorch but I can't run Cuda in that screen, is it necessary to have Cuda?

You don't run things from the Task Manager, it monitors what is running (you can kill hung process from it though). If it isn't showing Cuda as an option, it is most likely that Cuda isn't running. Whilst you can download and install the Cuda toolkit from the Nvidia site, it still needs the Graphics card to support Cuda to run successfully. Cuda isn't essential, it is just that SD will run faster if it can use Cuda. I noticed you were using the older version of JuggernautXL, it my be worthwhile to switch to the newer Lightning or Hyper versions, these should be capable of generating quality images in a lot fewer steps.

Dang, i'm a bit behind as i have been in the bog myself (see in the photo-section).

I saw that, hope you didn't get your car seats too dirty!

I like her very much and will invite her for my next adventure. Her hood is already mudcoated, so she must have been in some deep spots already

May have dropped her suit in the bog whilst getting ready!

I'm not sure what is going on here. That's some three very nice wetsuited angels and it looks like they are doing some sort of ceremony before exploring that cave AI manages to surprise again!

Angels indeed, that was my first thought when I saw the pic, brought to mind one of the promotional pictures.

LOL yes, the lady is much more than fair!

Luckily i have a master key... but it's going to take several minutes to find...

Well, don't get distracted looking for it, you may miss something.

i know many here like a muddy face, but not me, so this works out great!
to me, this says NO Don't Leave Me Here!!!

You may be lucky. It could also be a three-point landing! To me it still looks like "Aahrrrrrrrg splat!"

Sunday sports.

How long were you looking for that master key?

Just getting down to it!

She's a bit nervous, she hasn't done this before.

Don't buy a house near a bog if you sleepwalk!

Let's see him follow me through this!

Sunday supplement.

Getting used to it now.

That Summer look. No copyright was infringed in the making of this image, not so sure about the training of the checkpoint!

I've always thought pink and brown went well together!
