Hi. I don't wanna announce this, but my GPU is dying.
I have an RTX 2060 (12GB VRAM version) which is 2 generations old at this point. The GPU performance started to degrade since 2 months ago. I realized this issue when training SD 1.5 LoRA. Usually, I will get around 2.01 it/s with this GPU. But since the degradation started happening, I only get ~1.5 it/s and no SDXL LoRA training.
Not only that, my GPU also started to flicker random black chunks that randomly showed up and lasted some milliseconds. From my friend's analysis, it seems like the VRAM chip has also started to fail. And I know this is the time to replace my GPU.
Because I'm a university student with a low income, I started to spare some money to buy an RTX 4060 Ti (16GB VRAM version). I've collected ~50% of the amount that I needed to finally buy the GPU, until...
I was involved in a multi-car collision accident.
I was the victim of the accident. I was fine, but the car was damaged. The person who hit my car was not responsible. I ended up losing almost 60% of the money I had saved to buy the GPU to fix the car because the trunk door was jammed.
Because of all of this, I'm opening an emergency LoRA commission for SD 1.5 or SDXL. You can DM me for details.
Or, I hate to say this, but if you want to directly support me without commissioning, you can send me some funds to my ko-fi account https://ko-fi.com/kayfahaarukku. Please only send funds if you have excess sustenance, I am not forcing you.
The amount I need to buy a new RTX 4060 Ti GPU with 16GB VRAM is around $600, and the remaining money I have is around $150.
Thank you very much in advance.
PS: The car is my dad's. I was driving it at the time so I'm responsible. My dad was also out of work, so I couldn't bear to have him fix it.
