Is mid journey best for generating visual pics from prompts?
Assuming I've got decent pc work station in terms of CPU power (water cooled i7 12th gen with some old gtx 1060 6GB) self hosted stable diffusion would be better pick?
Discussion
Midjourney will be quick and easier to get high quality results, but less flexible. Your current GPU can work with stable diffusion but you'll need some extra options to reduce VRAM usage and the generations will be slow. Stable diffusion has enough of a learning curve that rapid iterations really help figuring it out.
A 3060 12GB would be a good, relatively cheap GPU for self-hosted stable diffusion.
Mid journey then. I'm not interested in investing in more juicy gpu for now.
Thank you for your advice!
