"If you have a GPU powerful enough to generate stable diffusion results in under five seconds, you can run the experience locally using our test flask server."
Curious what sort of GPU the author was using or what some of the min requirements might be?
It's possible a 3060 might work, depending. in my experience the 3060 is about 50% slower than the 3070, but that may be a bad 3060 in our test rig. but a 3060 gets pretty close to 5 seconds for an image, so try it, if you have one.
just tested prompt "a test pattern for television" on both cards and 3070 took 1.87s and the 3060 took 2.93s. Similar results for the prompt "an intricate cityscape, like new york"
edit: i should note we're using SD 1.4, not 1.5, although i think that just has to do with the checkpoint of the model, not the algorithm, but i could be wrong.
Also the model is over 14GB, so perhaps the 3070 can't do it after all. i'll test it later as soon as the local admin wakes up and downloads it onto our machine.
