Stable Diffusion usually only runs (well) on better hardware. You can play with settings to get it to work better with older or lesser hardware… But Forge for Stable Diffusion takes it to the next level! Automatic optimization and MUCH faster speeds, with less VRAM usage. The less “powerful” the graphics card - probably the faster you’ll be! This is DEFINATELY worth a watch for ALL Stable Diffusion WebUI users.
