Next Tech and AI · Beginner ·🎨 Image & Video AI ·1y ago
Ever wondered if renting a cloud GPU is better than using a local one? I compare performance and costs—including electricity—of local versus cloud GPUs for AI workloads using ComfyUI image generation and Hunyuan video benchmarks. This analysis reveals which option provides the best value based on your usage patterns. All results and calculations are in a free Google Sheet on my Patreon (link below) – run the benchmarks with your GPU and share your results in the comments!
