SD even runs fine, although slower, on MacBook Air M1 thanks to quite capable GPU which shares RAM as VRAM, I think soon to utilize Neural Engine Cores too. Announcement and discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/xbo3y7/one...

Slower means around a minute per picture. It's amazing! Guys with GPUs more expensive than my whole computer can't run it, but a laptop without fans can. Well done Apple.

I have a old ass GTX1070 and run it just fine, it's not the fastest but it works. A lot of these cases are just PEBCAK's and should just be removed from the internet, it's been made so easy that a literal child could install and use SD.

Well as long as they have a recent-ish NVidia card, rip AMD users.

The 3090 I had was actually somewhat slower than dreamstudio.ai, but the nice thing was the set of python tools I got with it was scriptable so I could do things like create an image, use that as input for another one, and so on, then make them into an animation. There's a bit of tax with initializing python and loading the ML model with each iteration, but if I ever get my hands on a 4090 I'm sure I can solve that.
