Frequently Asked Questions
How much VRAM does BrushNet require?
BrushNet requires a minimum of 8192MB (8.0GB) of VRAM for base operation. For optimal performance, a GPU with at least 12GB of VRAM is recommended. Low VRAM mode is not supported for this node.
Can I run BrushNet on an RTX 3060, RTX 4070, or RTX 4090?
✅ RTX 3060 (12GB): Yes, fully compatible with 2.8GB headroom. ✅ RTX 4070 (12GB): Yes, fully compatible with 2.8GB headroom. ✅ RTX 4070 Ti (16GB): Yes, fully compatible with 6.4GB headroom. ✅ RTX 4090 (24GB): Yes, fully compatible with 13.6GB headroom
How much VRAM does BrushNet take on an RTX 3060 vs RTX 4090?
On an RTX 3060 (12GB VRAM), BrushNet runs smoothly on an RTX 3060 (12GB) with 2.8GB of headroom. This is sufficient to run the node alongside standard SD 1.5 and SDXL workflows in full precision. On an RTX 4090 (24GB VRAM), the node runs with extreme headroom on an RTX 4090 (24GB) with 13.6GB of dedicated headroom. This allows you to combine the node with massive models (like FLUX.1 Dev, Schnell, or Hunyuan Video) in full precision (FP16) without any offload flags.
What Python packages are required for BrushNet?
To run BrushNet, you need to install: accelerate>=0.29.0,<0.32.0, diffusers>=0.29.0, peft>=0.7.0. You can install these using pip or add them to your requirements.txt file.
How do I install BrushNet in ComfyUI?
To install BrushNet: (1) Navigate to your ComfyUI/custom_nodes directory, (2) Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/nullquant/ComfyUI-BrushNet, (3) Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt (if present), (4) Restart ComfyUI. Alternatively, use ComfyUI Manager for one-click installation.
