What can your machine run?

Pick your GPU, RAM and pagefile to get a recommended H3 model + VAE + text encoder combo, with estimated VRAM / RAM / generation time / SSD wear across resolutions and durations.

Orange tiers mark above-native canvas (H3 native cap: 768 short side / 1344 long side, i.e. 0.98MP). Higher pixel counts (1.0-2.0MP) require the official H3-Regenerate-2K (closed-source, API only) or a community "latent upscale + second pass" workflow; estimates exclude the extra time and VRAM of a second pass. Sizes follow the official ComfyUI ResolutionSelector algorithm (multiple=32).

  • · Not enough RAM to cache all weights: ~35GB must be read back from SSD (~12.0GB/step, read-only)
  • · Partial weight offload: ~14.8GB moved over PCIe per step
Self-calibration (optional)
Run once at 832×480 / 5s with current settings, enter your measured s/it; the whole table scales proportionally. Current model prediction: 11.58 s/it

Estimates come from regressing measured anchors across 6 GPUs, with roughly ±25-35% error; actual speed depends on drivers, ComfyUI version and workflow. Data updated 2026-09-18.
