Does GeForce 525M support Stable Diffusion web UI and ComfyUI?

Question

Error.install st . The problem was that your graphics card, GeForce GT 525M, has the Fermi architecture, which does not support Stable Diffusion.

Does GeForce 525M support Stable Diffusion web UI and ComfyUI GUI for Stable Diffusion or even in Google Colab?

Answer 1

Your GeForce GT 525M mobile graphics chip graphics processing unit does not support Stable Diffusion. The GeForce GT 525M mobile graphics chip was launched in 2011. It's too old for this GPU-intensive application.

While the GPU is crucial, a decent CPU (preferably 8 cores or more) also contributes to Stable Diffusion's overall performance. In addition 16GB or more of RAM is recommended for all scenarios, especially ComfyUI and Google Colab.

Recommended graphics processor requirements for Stable Diffusion scenarios:

1. Stable Diffusion web UI:

   • Minimum: Any GPU with at least 4GB of VRAM (video RAM).
   • Recommended: 6GB or more of VRAM for smoother experience.

2. ComfyUI node-based GUI for Stable Diffusion:

   • Minimum: 8GB of VRAM recommended, especially for higher resolutions or inpainting features.
   • Recommended: 12GB or more of VRAM for comfortable usage with larger image sizes, multiple prompts, and advanced settings.
   • Note: ComfyUI utilizes your local hardware, so performance is directly tied to your own GPU capabilities.

3. Stable Diffusion in Google Colab:

   • Minimum: A Colab Pro or Plus subscription to access dedicated GPUs.
   • Recommended: Choose GPUs with 16GB or more of VRAM for faster generation and larger images.
