Unlock an instant performance boost for your AI art creation! In this beginner-friendly tutorial, I walk you through the installation and core benefits of Stable Diffusion WebUI Forgeโ€”a high-performance alternative built on top of the familiar Automatic1111 layout.

Thanks to its optimized UNet Patcher architecture, switching to Forge significantly lowers your VRAM consumption and peaks. I break down the exact performance gains you can expect depending on your hardware, including up to a 45% speed upgrade on 8GB VRAM cards and up to a 75% speedup on 6GB VRAM configurations! You'll also learn the easiest way to install it using the One-Click Installer, look at its built-in ControlNet support, and explore new native tabs like SVD and Z123.

00:00Hello, guys. Welcome back with me. Ciao, ciao. 2025.
00:04We're diving into the exciting realm of Stable Diffusion Web UI Forge,
00:08a powerful tool that makes creating stunning AI art accessible to everyone.
00:13Whether you're a seasoned artist or just curious about AI,
00:16this tutorial is your passport to a world of creative possibilities.
00:21Let's start by getting acquainted with Forge.
00:23It's a user-friendly interface built on top of Stable Diffusion,
00:27a cutting-edge eye model capable of generating breathtaking images based on your text descriptions.
00:34If you're a user of Automatic 11.11, this is almost the same thing but with more speed.
00:40Compared to original Web UI for SDXL inference at 1024 pixels, you can expect the below speed.
00:49Ups.
00:50If you use common GPU, like 8 gigs VRAM,
00:54you can expect to get about 30 to 45 speed up in inference speed.
00:58The GPU memory peak will drop about 700 MB to 1.3 GB.
01:03The maximum diffusion resolution will increase about 2 to 3 times,
01:07and the maximum diffusion batch size will increase about 4 to 6 tinies.
01:12If you use less powerful GPU like 6 GB VRAM,
01:16you can expect to get about 60 to 75 speed up in inference speed.
01:20The GPU memory peak will drop about 800 MB to 1.5 GB.
01:26The maximum diffusion resolution will increase about 3x,
01:29and the maximum diffusion batch size will increase about 4 times.
01:34If you use powerful GPU like 4090 with 24 GB VRAM,
01:39you can expect to get about 3 to 6 feet up in inference speed.
01:42The GPU memory peak will drop about 1 GB to 1.4 GB.
01:47The maximum diffusion resolution will increase about 1.6 times,
01:51and the maximum diffusion batch size will increase about 2 times.
01:55If you use ControlNet for SDXL,
01:58the maximum ControlNet count will increase about 2 times.
02:02The speed with SDXL ControlNet will speed up about 30 to 45.
02:08Thanks to UNetpatcher, many new things are possible now and supported in Forge,
02:13including SVV, Z123, Masked IP, Adapter, Masked ControlNet, Photomaker, etc.
02:22There are two ways to install Forge, one-click installer or using Git.
02:27We're just going with the easy way that is use one-click installer
02:30that located on its GitHub, link on the descriptions.
02:34It is so easy.
02:36Download the file, account of it,
02:41Extract it,
02:43Extract it,
02:47Click Update.
02:55After its update, simply click Run.bat.
02:58It will download and set up a bunch of file.
03:16After that, it is good to go.
03:18It working exactly like Automatic 11, but faster.
03:23So there's nothing to be explained here.
03:25There are a bunch of new tab like SUVD and Z123 that we will go in the depth in other
03:31video.
03:32Forge also has a built-in ControlNet, so don't need to download ControlNet manually.
03:36It is also a bunch of sampler already.
03:39The model that you currently have will be Realistic Vision to 51, but you could download other model in Civiticom.
03:48Other model like LoRa and Control also available, and you cut-put it on the model folder according to its
03:54use.
03:55If you have Automatic 7-Eleven already, and you want to use the model that are reused there so you
04:01don't have Redudin model,
04:02you could, and I will explain it in another video.
04:06Okay.
04:48But for now, enjoy your bonus speed from Forge.
04:52Okay, hope that helped.
04:54Thanks for watching.
04:55Don't forget to like, share, and comment.
04:58See you again on the next episode.
05:00Have a nice day.
