For just $10 of electricity? A 4090ti will gen 100,000+ images.
If you make a poverty build with used or salvaged parts and a 12GB 3060, let’s say for $400, then $200 for electricity, that’s the same cost as a $10 OF subscription over 5 years.
That setup gets easily 650,000 images in that time, genning for 3.5 hours a day. It’s 10% of Danbooru’s 20 year library made in 5 years, by one computer. This is assuming a baseline of 100 images an hour, which is a good start but will vary based on checkpoint, steps and sampler.
That’s the same as 10,000 a month, or 350 images a day. It would take you an hour of each of your finite days on God’s green earth, with no holidays, to admire each of your images for 10 seconds each.
Find me a ho that can take 10,000 quality photos a month.
