About this version

R7f Beta LowDMD

Improved performance even in 1pass workflow with Euler A + Karras, CFG 3.0+, steps 30+, high resolution like 1440x832 or 1280x1024... BLA-BLA-YADA-YADA FURTHER MARKETING BS...

Consider it as Beta release because I'm not fully satisfied with eyes and fingers stability. Also, in some cases I'm not fully satisfied with textures and some samplers behavior.

But in comparison with Alpha* releases of R7 it shows noticeably better performance in anatomy, lighting, textures, etc.

Rule for steps: 8 steps kinda works but gives smooth picture like LCM sampler but with any samplers; 16 steps starts to give details using contrast samplers like DPM++ 2S A; 25..30 steps sharp enough for single pass render, but small objects like eyes and fingers might be unstable; not yet tested on 40+ steps, but I don't expect significant quality improvement.

Euler A with CFG up to 6.0 and steps from 14 and greater works as LCM sampler for previous (DMD2 versions). Euler A gives low noise, very smooth pictures. Good for Text2Image with consequent HiRes fix using other samplers.

DPM++ 2S A + Karras with CFG near 2.5 and steps 20+ is good for realism and texture rendering/optimal to me as a Text-to-Image.
