What are good and reasonably priced GPUs for this (<$250, possibly less)?

Not sure exact pricing but look for a used maxwell (geforce 1000 series) nvidia gpu i'd bet. A quadro m2000 with 4gb of ram was about 100 on ebay a short bit ago

Thanks! A Quadro m2000 can still be found fr around 100 today, but I found an m4000 for 150, and ordered that... We'll see...

I'm running 1660 ti on Windows 11. I'm thinking about getting a 3090 so that I can make higher resolution images. Gfpgan runs much faster for me 5 seconds per picture

What resolution could you get on a 3090?

Good way to know (if not found online) is to start at 512x512 if you have a card with 12GB VRAM and try to increment it (the ui slider increases it by 64px for each increment) and backtrack when you start getting "cuda out of memory" errors. I've seen some renders on discord where the sizes are well above 1000px, so they must have had a 16/24GB cards or something similar. In the research context, they are used to using 40GB/80GB hardware (and perhaps multiples) to train and render. So quite remarkable that it works on consumer hardware at this point.

edit: on second thought, they most likely rendered at 512px but then ran it through an upscaler model. I've been meaning to hook mine up but kinda forgot to try.
