When I initially created a Flux-dev-Upscaler-workflow on MimicPC, some users reported issues running it on Medium configurations (T4 16GB VRAM | 16GB RAM). To address this, I developed a new upscaler workflow based on the GGUF model. While this workflow performs best on higher-end machines, it now operates without errors on Medium setups. However, the rendering speed is significantly slower, so proceed with Medium configurations cautiously—I recommend opting for Large or higher for a superior image generation experience. Let's explore how to set up and run this workflow.

All nodes and models are ready to go. No manual setup is required.
Setup and Installation
Step 1: Preparing Your Environment
Start by ensuring that your MimicPC is ready for installation. Check the system specs to confirm compatibility, particularly focusing on VRAM and RAM limitations.
Step 2: Download the GGUF Model
Select the appropriate GGUF model to download. Although the workflow utilizes the Q4 version, feel free to explore other versions for different performance outcomes.
Step 3: Setting Up the ComfyUI Workflow
Configure ComfyUI on your MimicPC to seamlessly integrate the Flux-Upscaler. This involves importing the workflow settings and ensuring all components are properly aligned for optimal performance. Make sure to tailor the settings to your specific system capabilities to achieve the best results.
Tips for Optimal Performance
- Consider Higher Configurations: While the workflow runs on Medium setups, upgrading to Large or higher significantly enhances generation speed and overall performance.
- Adjust Resource Allocation: Fine-tune resource settings within ComfyUI to ensure maximum efficiency in processing, particularly on Medium machines.
Conclusion
The ComfyUI - Flux-Upscaler-GGUF-Workflow offers a robust solution for image upscaling, adaptable to various system configurations, including MimicPC's Medium setups. While future-proofing with higher specifications is advisable for seamless experience, the flexibility this workflow provides makes it widely accessible.
