AI image model user seeks VRAM optimization benchmarks

A Reddit user is seeking to optimize VRAM usage and generation time for AI image models like Scail 2 on their RTX 4070 Ti SUPER with 16GB VRAM. They propose a benchmarking approach to understand how factors such as model weights, resolution, and frame count contribute to total VRAM consumption and runtime. The goal is to derive practical formulas for fitting workflows within VRAM limits and predicting generation speed, ultimately finding a balance between image quality, speed, and hardware constraints.
