Relative_Set_4773 · reddit · 2026-09-26
- A developer wants to run Qwen Image 2.1 locally on an RTX 2050 laptop with only 4GB VRAM and 16GB RAM, focused on identity-preserving image editing (face, features, hairstyle).
- They ask for ComfyUI low-VRAM workflows, CPU/RAM offloading, quantized checkpoints, resolution/batch settings, tiled approaches, LoRAs/reference techniques, expected generation times, and pitfalls.
- A practical thread for anyone running open image models on constrained hardware.
