@@ -5,22 +5,22 @@ Here's a quick listing of things to tune for your setup:
 - Nvidia (12gb+) `--xformers`
 - Nvidia (8gb) `--medvram-sdxl --xformers`
 - Nvidia (4gb) `--lowvram --xformers`
-- AMD (4gb) `--lowvram --opt-sub-quad-attention` + TAESD in settings
-<details> Both rocm and directml will generate at least 1024x1024 pictures at fp16. However, at full precision, the model fails to load (into 4gb). If your card needs --no-half, try enabling --upcast-sampling instead. </details>
+- AMD (4gb) `--lowvram --opt-sub-quad-attention` + TAESD in settings <details> 
+Both rocm and directml will generate at least 1024x1024 pictures at fp16. If your AMD card needs --no-half, try enabling --upcast-sampling instead, as full precision sdxl is too large to fit on 4gb. </details>
 
 ## System:
 - (Windows) Downgrade [Nvidia drivers](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/) to 531 or lower.  New drivers cause extreme slowdowns on Windows when generating large images towards your card's maximum vram. \
-This important issue is discussed [here](https://github.com/vladmandic/automatic/discussions/1285) and in [#11063](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/issues/11063). \

+This important issue is discussed [here](https://github.com/vladmandic/automatic/discussions/1285) and in ([#11063](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/issues/11063)). \
+**Symptoms:**
 
     * You see Shared GPU memory usage filling up in Task Manager
     * Your generations that usually take 1-2 min, take 7+ min
     * low vram cards are generating very slowly
  
-- Add a pagefile to prevent failure loading weights due to low RAM.
 - (Linux) install `tcmalloc`, greatly reducing RAM usage: `sudo apt install --no-install-recommends google-perftools` ([#10117](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/issues/10117)).
+- Add a pagefile/swapfile to prevent failure loading weights due to low RAM.
 - Use an SSD for faster load time, especially if a pagefile is required.
-
+- Have at least 24gb ram on Windows 11, and at least 16gb on Windows 10
 ## Model weights:
-- Use [sdxl-vae-fp16-fix](https://huggingface.co/madebyollin/sdxl-vae-fp16-fix/blob/main/sdxl_vae.safetensors), a VAE that will not need to run in fp32, for increased speed and less VRAM usage.
+- Use [sdxl-vae-fp16-fix](https://huggingface.co/madebyollin/sdxl-vae-fp16-fix/blob/main/sdxl_vae.safetensors); a VAE that will not need to run in fp32. This will increase speed and lessen VRAM usage at almost no quality loss. 
 - Use [TAESD](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki/Features#taesd); a VAE that uses drastically less vram at the cost of some quality.
