Use the Viggle Turbo Sigmas node with euler and BasicGuider instead of a KSampler scheduler, and the Viggle Turbo LoRA (unmerged) node at 1.0, because stock loaders merge the LoRA and lose about 30% of its update on bf16. The default workflows peak at about 26 GB VRAM at 1248x832. With comfy_kitchen 0.2.35 and an NVIDIA driver older than 580, the prompt enhancer fails; update the driver or turn it off.
