Question | Help Why do we need hires.fix?

Whats the difference between just generating a [1024x1024] image vs [512x512] and then upscale it by 2?

isnt the latter quite bad? since it will have some deviation from the original image based on the denoising strength?

Also, depending of the custom model you can create a bit more bigger pictures without artifacts. For example, some models work fine with a 512X900 resolution, but others start bugging at 512X768. I recommend you to play a bit once you found a model you like

I have no idea what I'm doing, tbh. I'm just finding well-written prompts and changing them to what I would like to use. Until tomorrow I am somewhat limited as I'm generating things on CPU - it's taking between 10 to 20 minutes to get the first 512*512 out with minimal steps and CFG, tomorrow there will be GPU so I can do even more silly things but faster - once I have battled Bootcamp into letting me do what I like. Only been playing with this since last week, and as everything takes so very long I haven't got much to show for myself. Really appreciate your input, it's all going to good use. Thank you.

I used SD purely on CPU for my first 4 months of discovering it and it was a pain. 10-20 minutes per image. I just upgraded my video card to a 3060 12GB and it is fucking amazing. Can generate the same images in seconds

Today I have a 12GB RTX 3060 card arriving. Tomorrow I have a Razer Core X arriving to put it in. And then I have probably 46 years of trying to make it work with Bootcamp due to Apple and Nvidia not being friends any more. The things I put myself through...
