Best-Models-For-ComfyUI
A curated vault of the most essential, powerful, and optimized models for ComfyUI users. Flux1, SDXL, ControlNets, Clips, GGUFs—all in one place. Carefully organized. Pre-tested. One-click ready.
🪜 What's Inside
This repo is not a chaotic dumping ground. It’s a purposeful collection of the most important ComfyUI-compatible models:
Flux1
- Unet Models: Dev, Schnell, Depth, Canny, Fill
- GGUF Versions: Q3, Q5, Q6 for each major branch
- Clip + T5XXL encoders (standard + GGUF versions)
- Loras: Only when there's actual value (e.g. not bloated or redundant)
SDXL
- Top Models from Civitai (Realism, Stylized, Experimental)
- Base + Refiner official models
- ControlNets: Depth, Canny, OpenPose, Normal, etc.
Extra
- VAE, upscalers, and anything required to support workflows
🏋️ Unet Recommendations (Based on VRAM)
| VRAM | Use Case | Model Type |
|---|---|---|
| 16GB+ | Full-quality FP8 | flux1-dev-fp8.safetensors |
| 12GB | Balanced Q5_K_S | GGUF flux1-dev-Q5_K_S.gguf |
| 8GB | Light Q3_K_S | GGUF flux1-dev-Q3_K_S.gguf |
GGUF models are significantly lighter and designed for low-VRAM systems.
🧠 T5XXL Recommendations (Based on Ram)
| System RAM | Use Case | Model Type |
|---|---|---|
| 64GB | Max quality | t5xxl_fp16.safetensors |
| 32GB | High quality (can crash if multitasking) | t5xxl_fp16.safetensors |
| 16GB | Balanced | t5xxl_fp8_scaled.safetensors |
| <16GB | Low-memory / Safe mode | GGUF Q5_K_S or Q3_K_S |
⚠️ These are recommended tiers, not hard rules. RAM usage depends on your active processes, ComfyUI extensions, batch sizes, and other factors.
If you're getting random crashes, try scaling down one tier.

- SDXL examples: Realism, Stylized, etc.
All preview images will be grouped into a single efficient visual block for each group.

❓ FAQ
Q: Why not every GGUF?
A: Because Q3, Q5, and Q6 cover the most meaningful range. No bloat.

A: Yes. Most are sourced directly from creators, or validated mirrors.
Q: Will this grow?
A: Yes. But only with purpose.
