A Reddit post shows a local AI generation run on an RTX 3060 12GB with 32GB RAM where a 20-second result reportedly took 38 minutes 55 seconds to produce.

The post is mostly a hardware reality check: the workload is clearly possible on consumer gear, but the throughput is extremely low, highlighting how expensive video-style generation can be on modest local hardware.
