Running ComfyUI on RTX 5090 Leads to OOM
Extreme_Speed6654 · reddit · 2026-07-12
A Reddit user shared their local setup for image-to-video/text-to-video workflows: RTX 5090 32GB, 64GB RAM, Intel Ultra 9 285K, and a 4TB SSD, running ComfyUI inside Docker.
Their current workflow includes multiple models and components: the main model, text encoder, VAE, upscaler, and LoRA. Although the Docker image and compose file are set up, the system crashes with an OOM error upon launch.
The post primarily asks three questions:
- What launch parameters are generally recommended for ComfyUI?
- Are there more hardware-efficient or cost-effective workflows?
- Is cu130 suitable for the RTX 5090?
This is a typical local inference and deployment help request, focusing on VRAM usage, Docker environments, and new GPU compatibility.
