I have an M1 but I first remember thinking it was very impressive that my Mac could run these AI models…

…until I tried the same on my RTX 4070 and it made my Mac look like a joke.

For the 30 seconds my Mac would have taken for 1 result, which will probably need revising, the RTX would give me 30 results.

However the RTX was half the cost of my Mac, so it’s not a good investment if I just want to generate some images. I’d rather pay for the cloud if I didn’t have the RTX already.

Which M1? That makes a big difference. And the Mac Studio runs the M2 Pro/Max/Ultra.

Yeah my M1 Max is about as fast as my old 1070, at 24 steps per image it comes out to little over 2 images per minute. My new 4090 does an image per second.

It should be about 6 images per minutes (for SD v1 at 512x512) and 1 image per minute on SDXL for the said hardware (M1 Max): https://engineering.drawthings.ai/integrating-metal-flashatt...
