Like so many things tech I have a little knowledge that can make my decisions dangerous!

 

So I request some guidance

 

End game to run a "setup" of stable diffusion.

 

I have managed this on my M1 mac air but I would like the images to finish rendering before I die!

 

I get the impression that I need or could do with 12gb of VRAM in the ability to run SD

 

Thats where I am at.

 

So what are the next , say two important factors? 

 

Do I need something like this

 

"AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6 Core with Water Cooling - 16GB 3200Mhz RGB RAM - 1TB NVMe SSD - NVIDIA GeForce RTX3060 12GB - AC WiFi + Bluetooth - Windows 11 Home"

 

or can i get away witha whole lot less?

There are so many different "distributions" of it. I've had some success with DiffusionBee, which seems to be an order of magnitude faster than some of the other ones I tried.

Ask ChatGPT for guidance.

Crazy easy to install all be it simplistic its quick Thanks a bunch for the direction appreciate it. Makes me wonder if its worth beefing up the ram in my M1? wether it will improve it further?

RAM upgrades on the M machines are extremely complicated and most likely not worth doing (it's literally easier to sell it and buy a new one).

I did wonder.....

 

 Just a thought what about buying an old powerhouse like

 

Mac Pro 5.1, High Spec, 1TB SSD, 64GB Ram, AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB

 

Is there any reason why that's a "really bad idea" or Diffusionbee would not run on it?

Those machines are more than 10 years old, and almost certainly will be noticeably slower than your M1.
