Pod crashing due to low regular RAM?

[desert pulsar]

Hey, I am running ComfyUI and my pod keeps crashing at one point in the workflow, the VRam is only at 70% utilised, but the GPU says 100%

Does this mean if I found a different pod with more regular Ram, then I could keep going with the workflow?

pod has 30gb ram

[red isle]

I don't get what are you implying eith those two values

And I think gpu vram, gpu usg for different use than ram

[desert pulsar]

So I have a friends 4090 in real life that I am using to render artwork from a workflow in comfyui. i Need to work faster so I rented a 4090 on Runpod, but it doesnt work. it crashes... and I am trying to figure out why

the screenshot I shared is a plug in that visualises how the ram is being used, and it seems like the VRAM is not the issue

So I want to know how to fix it, if i had a different pod with more than 30gb RAM maybe would be ok

It is just annoying to waste money testing out these pods, thought someone here might know

[red isle]

Oh crashing ?

Can you check the comfyui logs

Maybe something happened

[desert pulsar]

thats the thing, it doesnt say why in the logs

[red isle]

Pod restarts automatically or what , ram 42 looks pretty normal and shouldn't be crashing itself

I mean I never happen to crash comfyui

What does it looks like when it's crashed

Like pod restarts?

[desert pulsar]

i shared the screenshot..

it says "reconnecting" and ERR

but it required a pod restart to get it working again

log didnt say anything, the other stuff was just error because I put wrong format image fir ipadapter

[red isle]

Hmm

[red isle]

Oh in the comfyui?

What about the pod

Still stays on?

[desert pulsar]

yes

I got it working with using less controlnets, but whenever I use 3 it crashes

[red isle]

Hmm maybe it's the vram

Try to launch it from your commandline

[red isle]

Or jupyter console

Launch your own comfyui

[desert pulsar]

oh now issue with just 2 controlnet

[red isle]

Scroll down

[red isle]

Either: wrong model, model compability, or bad pod

But the crashing I don't have any idea

[desert pulsar]

ugh hmm, how can I launch it from commandline?

I got it to render a couple of times so I dont think its actually a bad pod

but it just keeps crashing, I am 90% sure its a RAM issue

regular ram, not VRAM

But idk really... the workflow is exactly the same as what I am running on a local machine

It works now, with 1 Ipadapter, 2 controlnet, but I need 2 Ipadapter, 3 controlnets. that is the issue. I guess it can't handle it

[red isle]

Nvm I think it's the same

Hmm yeah try 2x gpu or pod with more ram then?

[red isle]

What about your local it has more ram?

[desert pulsar]

I actually don't know, need to ask my friend, I am accessing it remotely

i would guess 64GB

if its working

thanks for your help anyway

[red isle]

Ahh ic

[tribal folio]

this seems like memory issue?

[red isle]

How so? pls explain?

I was searching and found this😂 :

The error message indicates an "Allocation on device" issue when executing SamplerCustom in ComfyUI. This type of error typically occurs when there's not enough GPU memory available to allocate for the operation.
