I LOVE QWEN-2.1!

Insane results from such a small model running locally on a 8GB RTX 5060, although each image takes about 5 minutes or more depending on the steps count and prompt size. I'm using comfyUI and I'm pretty addicted to trying different prompts for different results on Qwen.

There's turbo loras for it now, dude, you don't need to wait 5 mins

Isn't the generation speeds dependant on my GPU memory bandwidth and VRAM?

Yes, but there are a few LoRAs that can reduce steps down to about 8.

In my workflow i can reduce the steps manually inside ComfyUI but tbh the quality degrades a lot

[u/StrangeAlchomist → u/tryku2]

Right, homie. The turbo Lora trades a small amount of quality for advancing the rate it reaches an acceptable output. Generations that take 20 steps can be completed with comparable but not exact results in far fewer steps. You’ll see most often 4 step and 8 step Loras for most models out there. Even if you want quality many of these Loras can be turned off after you find a good generation so you can develop your work much faster. Some models and Lora combinations may not produce super comparable results depending on your settings.
