I just started using stable diffusion out of curiosity a few days ago and my experience with my 4GB of vram wasn't that much fun, but with forge I'm seeing a drastic difference and I can create an image in less than 2 minutes (before was ~11 min). Thank you so much !!

OMG... this is truly a game changer, at least for me. Even if I'm using a 3060 GTX with 12GB of vram, 4 XL images would take about 15 minutes to generate. Loading the models was also a pain... But now it's all in the past! Thank you, Sebastian!

In the webui-user.bat file we can reference our A1111 existing folder, so that we don't need to re-download all the models, embeddings, etc. Then play with it, see if we like it better and later decide if we move everything into Forge (and REM back all the A1111 links)

Heard about Forge for the first time today and was hoping for you to post this video :) perfect timing

[KkommA]

Using it since yesterday, really neat and indeed a bit faster as promised!

[cherminfoy]

my god, this runs way better than automatic1111, so many errors trying to run automatic1111 and no easy explanation on how to fix them, forge is a life saver thank you!

Thank you for this video. I dont know what was wrong with my A1111 settings, but on a 3090, I am generating like 300% faster! What used to take 4 min 30 seconds now takes less than a minute and a half. Game changer.

Thank you so much, been using txtimg and transferring all images to SVD for videos is so convenient!

The best Video of the year for SD Forge users, outstanding helpful

Thank you

Thank you, with an RTX 2060 6GB, I was waiting 6 to 8 minutes for a 1024x1024 generation, now it's less than 2 minutes!!! It's day and night !! thank you to the developers of FORGE and thank you for this video

After seeing some impressive Flux examples on Reddit, I've returned to give Forge another try. I feel sad and nostalgic for SD 1.5 though 😢

[AyalSolav]

can you direct forge to the directories of A1111 like you can do with comfy? so you don't need to duplicate every model\lora?

[sonbaz]

Hi thank you for the video. Do i need A1111 installed first? Or do i need to remove A1111 before installing Forge? Or can you have both installed?

[narcizyzzt]

This video came perfectly, I just downloaded it and didn't know how to use it :)

Runs flawlessly on my gtx 1060 6GB version and compared to EasyDiffusion, which is supposed to be the fastest, this is so much more faster than that too and so much more feature rich.
A full 720p image upscaled to 4k after HiRes fix added as well takes like only 45 seconds to a minute. If you use his LCM tutorial with the 1000 times faster Lora, then that time is cut in half and you can even directly renders high resolution images even quite quickly. Also the 1 click installer worked fine for me.

[CoconutPete]

Ok, I'm back and have come to the conclusion for me (a SD noob) I'm going back to A1111 simply because there's not enough documentation for bugs involving getting various extensions/models to work properly with Forge. But, this is probably a good opportunity for your channel to make Forge content, because there's not much out there. I may try again in the future. Also I found a post on Reddit which apparently there is some bickering between ComfyUI developer and Forge claiming that one stole code from comfy.. not sure all the details, but might be worth a look lol

What does Sebastian call going on holiday with his family? Kamphing.
Started using this earlier in the week and it's great. Not perfect yet but great and worth it for the performance increase alone. The two things it needs for me to swap full time, a fix for ControlNet not detecting IPAdaptor and for CivitAI Helper to be updated to work with the tree view Forge uses for loras etc.

[lennoyl]

Forge is exactly what I was looking for: as easy to use as a1111 but much better optimised.
the mask in controlnet is the thing I was looking for for a long time in a1111 (that and a better handling of the VRAM) and why I spent more time on comfyUI.

There are a lot of features "integrated" I don't even know what they do ^^
