SDXL is very memory hungry. Most base models are around 6-7 GB, which doesn't leave much room for anything else.
Thanks. Oddly enough, the most recent release of InvokeAI fixed the problem I was having. My 8gb 3070 can run SDXL in about 30 seconds now. It seems to take a little bit to clear everything in-between generations though. I want to move up to a 12/24 gb GPU, but am waiting/hoping for the price crash.
Awesome!
I had issues before I updated A1111. Do a git pull in the A111 directory and try again.
3060 here, it might be the vram. SDXL eats a lot of it (and if you had say the vae in the wrong spot it would output very wrong images) so it might be that either 8gb aren't enough, or maybe they aren't enough with the resolution of your screen plus whatever you are running, like the browser.
Or, OR: the checkpoint is corrupted. I had that happen a couple of times in the past and the whole huge error with loading of another model was what happened.
I'm not sure why, but I have 8GB vram and my experience with this has been the same as others who describe that SDXL will not run with Auto1111 but it will work with ComfyUI. So I think this is not purely a vram issue.
Auto1111 might be trying to load multiple models at the same time, which it does not have room for.
Nvidia has problem wih newest drivers, auto 111 give out of memory, comfyui works smootly with your card.
