ComfyUI users debate RAM speed impact on image generation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A Reddit user is inquiring about the impact of RAM speed on image generation performance within ComfyUI. The user explains that ComfyUI loads model files into VRAM, then RAM, and finally SSD if necessary, with VRAM being the fastest. They question whether RAM speed significantly affects the denoising phase, which consumes the most processing time, or only the initial loading stages. This leads to a consideration of whether upgrading to DDR6 RAM would be beneficial compared to increasing the size of existing DDR5 RAM. AI
