ComfyUI runs on 2GB VRAM GT 1030 with DynamicVRAM

A user successfully ran ComfyUI on a low-end GT 1030 graphics card with only 2 GB of VRAM by leveraging ComfyUI's DynamicVRAM system. This system allows models to be partially loaded into system RAM, enabling larger models to function on hardware with limited VRAM. Despite the GPU's limitations, including lack of FP8 and modern Tensor Core acceleration, the user was able to generate images, though the BF16 model was automatically cast to FP32, and FP16 did not yield significant speed improvements.
