Krea 2 SVDQuant checkpoints cut ComfyUI runtime about 2× on NVIDIA GPUs
LightAppropriate624 · reddit · 2026-07-25
A community project releases SVDQuant quantized checkpoints for Krea 2 in ComfyUI, claiming up to 2× speedup with no major quality cliff.
- The author says FP8 is only useful on GPUs with native FP8 tensor cores; on older cards it may be cast back to bf16 and can even be slower.
- Their focus is INT8 and W4A4, which they say work back to Turing / RTX 20-series.
- Benchmarks on an RTX 3090 at 1024×1024, 8 steps show BF16 at 21.3 s warm, while W4A4 variants land around 10.1–10.2 s warm.
- The repo also includes a loader fix: ComfyUI’s standard LoRA loader only patches about 12% of layers on these quantized models, and the custom loader handles the full network.
- The project is community-made and not affiliated with Krea.
