Faceswap Forum

The status showed that the training process was still running. This status had last for nearly 2 hours. I was confused whether it is normal? Thanks much for your time.

Curious. Let's start with the basic.
What video card and vram?
What batch size did you use?

Thank you for your reply. I'm sure here is a problem but I can't figure it out…

Video card: GeForce GTX 1050Ti
Vram: 8G
Batch size: 16

I have figured out this problem. The reason might be that my video card dosen't have enough memory.

When I didn't check all vram saving strategies, the process would be interrupted.
When I checked only "Memory saving gradients", then I met the problem I described.
When I checked both "Memory saving gradients" and "Optimizer Savings", the training process started soon.

Thanks for abigflea's reply.

An 8GB card should be more than enough to run Faceswap, but it is model dependent. It also doesn't normally just 'hang', it will usually error out if you don't have enough VRAM.

Glad you got it working though,

Thought the 1050ti was 4gb.
There is a 8gb version?
