thanks for the advice on the previous /vtai/ thread. I was able to improve my gens by decreasing hi-res denoising strength to 0.4 from 0.7. previously I would have a nice enough low-res preview after 30% completion only for the updated preview at 80% completely ruin everything. also if you're in the market for a cheap entry-level gpu that you'll be using for ai, consider the 5060Ti 16GB. the upgraded vram and newer tensor cores seem to place it around the rtx 3080 in performance for less money and without needing to buy a used part. idk what amd support is currently like, but maybe the 9060xt can be a good choice. it'd be great if someone can test it and chime in.
