<h1 id="flux-for-low-vram-users-a-game-changing-workflow-m3mryzosh">Flux for Low VRAM Users – A Game-Changing Workflow</h1>People often say that the Splashed Mix models match or even surpass Flux when it comes to image quality and aesthetics. That’s an incredible compliment—especially since Splashed Mix models push XL to its limits without extra help.But what if I could offer my low VRAM user base a way to run Flux too?Not a fine-tune, not a complicated setup—just a simple workflow that takes a schnellMODE (FLUX.S) model and runs it through a pass of Deep Splashed Something to enhance the image quality. This way, you get the brain of Flux combined with the quality of Splashed.<h3 id="and-the-best-part-vt0vy5s2i">And the best part?</h3>✅ Runs on just 4GB VRAM ✅ Tested &amp; working – every image in the gallery was generated on a GTX 1650 SUPER (4GB VRAM) ✅ Fast – generates high-resolution images in just over 2 minutes<hr /><h2 id="how-to-use-the-workflow-iuyxgqacx">How to Use the Workflow</h2>1️⃣ Download the Required Models:<ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1064697?modelVersionId=1290169">schnellMODE (FLUX.S) Q3 GGUF </a>– the optimized Flux model for low VRAM.

The workflow is already optimized for low VRAM users.🔹 This setup won’t slow you down—it balances quality and performance so you can create stunning images without high-end hardware.🔹 To keep everything simple the main workflow is a group node but some users have pointed out because the nodes are nested Comfy sometimes throws a hissy about missing nodes. if that happens, copy the nodes <a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/images/63099807">from here</a> to get the raw (messy) ungrouped version. Install all the dependecies then the main workflow will play nice.<hr /><h3 id="faq-xtvwc0uhf">FAQ</h3>🔹 No LoRA support – This is a pure schnell-base setup. LoRAs won’t work here. The goal is simply to get something out of Flux that Deep Splashed Something can refine into a great image.🔹 First time sharing a workflow – I’ve tested this, but you might run into issues I haven’t encountered. Drop me a DM or leave a comment, and I’ll fix things ASAP.🔹 Results may vary – Performance depends on your RAM, CPU, and overall setup. The workflow should work out of the box in most cases, but I can't test every possible configuration.🔹 Share your results! AI should be for everyone, not just high-end users. Let’s see what we can create on low specs!🔹 Next step? Getting it running on a calculator. (Joking... for now.)Special ThanksAll the model makers, hacks, people creating workarounds and bigger brains within the community who do more to push this forward than me. Without all the amazing models and out the box thinking, this would not be impossible.Huge shoutout to <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/Grumblebutt">Grumblebutt</a>—one of his images sparked the idea and helped crack the final speed optimisation. Without that missing piece, this wouldn't have been possible!Have fun :D

Splashed Flux - 4gig VRAM workflow

✅ Optimized for Low VRAM Users – Works on as little as 4GB VRAM (tested on GTX 1650 SUPER). ✅ Fast Performance – High-resolution images in just over 3 minutes. ✅ Simple Setup – No complex tweaks, just download, open, and prompt. ✅ Automatic Quality Boost – Uses Deep Splashed Something to enhance Flux outputs. ✅ No Settings Needed – Pre-configured for best results (unless you know what you're doing).
