ComfyUI is a free and easy to use graphical tool that helps you create content using generative AI. It lets you build custom workflows through connected blocks called nodes. Recently, ComfyUI introduced exciting updates including faster performance on NVIDIA RTX graphics cards and support for some of the newest AI models out there. These updates mean you can make better images, videos and even 3D models more quickly and with less computer power.
NVIDIA also released special versions of popular AI models like Stable Diffusion 3.5 that are optimized to run up to three times faster and use half as much memory when used with ComfyUI. There is also an upgraded RTX Remix platform that allows you to enhance and remaster older video games with much improved visual effects.
With recent improvements, you can do more in less time. For example, NVIDIA and the ComfyUI team boosted AI model speeds by up to forty percent. This is a bigger jump than most hardware upgrades alone provide.
New AI models now running on ComfyUI include:
- Wan 2 point 2 for high quality video generation
- Qwen Image for advanced text and image editing
- FLUX 1 Krea for realistic image creation
- Hunyuan3D 2 point 1 for turning images and text into lifelike 3D models
These models especially take advantage of NVIDIA RTX graphics cards, making tasks like video generation or complex image editing much faster and easier.
ComfyUI is beginner friendly. You do not need to be a technical expert to get started. The interface offers templates and preset workflows for common creative tasks. Some basic things you can do with ComfyUI include:
- Generating videos by choosing starting and ending frames
- Editing images using simple text commands
- Increasing the resolution of images or videos
- Customizing image layouts and compositions
- Changing the style of images while keeping key details
- Creating detailed 3D models from pictures taken at different angles
- Making animations from sound clips
- Guiding object movement in videos
- Filling in missing parts of images automatically
- Expanding art by generating new content outside the original image borders
ComfyUI also connects with professional tools. There are plug ins for Adobe Photoshop, Blender, Foundry Nuke and Unreal Engine. This means you can merge AI workflows directly inside your favorite design or animation program. For example, Photoshop users can run advanced AI flows with low delay and Blender users can control both two dimensional and three dimensional image creation in one place.
To get the best results with NVIDIA RTX graphics cards, you should use TensorRT. TensorRT is a library that supercharges AI models so they run faster and use less memory. With special nodes in ComfyUI, you can use these optimized models directly, and even run compressed models that speed things up even more.
The update to RTX Remix introduces a new particle system. This lets game creators or modders add much more realistic fire, smoke and magical effects to classic games. The particles move and react accurately to things like wind and light, making scenes more dynamic and convincing.
ComfyUI and the NVIDIA AI ecosystem are always growing. You can join communities on Discord, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X to learn tips and stay updated. Whether you are an artist, developer or hobbyist, these tools and resources make advanced AI content creation more accessible than ever before.
