I haven’t tried using Macs. I’ve heard their GPUs are kinda slow (compared to high-end discrete GPU), but have unified memory so you can run very large models.
I bought 3090s because I needed to train a classifier. It took months of training 24/7, so it was cheaper to buy 3090s than pay for cloud compute time. A 3090 is probably overkill for just running SDXL (unless they release an even larger model in the future).
I’m actually really curious to see how the 10 core GPU on my M2 Mac Mini performs.
