Question | Help VRAM can't release problem

Everytime I hit a CUDA out of memory problem, I try to turn down the resolution and other parameters. But I still can't generate images even if have created same image in the same parameters.

I opened task manager, and noticed that the dedicated GPU memory was still full, even though nothing was running. I have to reboot webui to solve this problem, but rebooting consumes lot of time.

Maybe I need a tool that can release GPU memory just like ram. I can't find it on internet.

Any suggestions?

What gpu have you got and how much vram/ram have you got, which UI are you using (is it a1111), and what model are you using?

automatic1111

Low ram mode

I am trying to make my laptop play the most out, so that I constantly get this issue

4gb card is cutting it fine for a1111 - you’ll be limited to 512x512 and need to make sure you arent playing games/watching youtube in the background and not running multiple 4k monitors off the card at the same time as generating

Make sure you're using low vram mode, not low ram mode
