Created by Black Forest Labs, Flux has emerged as a powerful AI image generation model known for its impressive ability to create high-quality visuals. Currently, Flux models can be applied to popular platforms such as ComfyUI, WebUI Forge, and InvokeAI. However, installing these AI applications locally can be difficult due to hardware requirements and complex setup steps.
Mimic PC these AI generation tools are all pre-installed and ready to use, providing an easy and streamlined experience without any complex installation requirements. Whether you prefer WebUI Forge’s intuitive interface, ComfyUI’s node-based workflows, or InvokeAI’s streamlined approach, you can start creating right away. From understanding model variations to creating stunning artwork, this guide will walk you through mastering Flux with WebUI Forge, allowing you to exploit its full potential regardless of your technical expertise. .

Checkpoints available in WebUI Forge
The SD Forge WebUI provides access to four optimized Flux checkpoints, each designed for different hardware capabilities.
flux1-dev-bnb-nf4-v2.safetensors
This is the recommended checkpoint for most users and provides optimal performance and efficiency across various VRAM configurations.
Recommended for most users
Optimize speed and efficiency
Superior VRAM management
excellent image quality
Ideal for modern GPUs with NF4 support
flux1-dev-bnb-nf4.safetensors
Previous versions of NF4-optimized checkpoints:
Core features similar to v2
stable performance
Perfect for comparison tests
Compatible with the latest GPUs
Output characteristics are slightly different
flux1-dev-fp8.safetensors
For users with older GPU cards that may not support NF4, this alternative checkpoint provides a robust generation experience.
Alternative checkpoints for older GPUs
Compatible with hardware that does not support NF4
reliable performance
VRAM usage is slightly higher
Maintain core flux quality
flux1-schnell-fp8.safetensors
Speed-optimized variants for faster generation:
Fastest processing among Flux models
Low VRAM requirements
Balanced quality and speed ratio
Ideal for rapid prototyping
Compatible with most GPU configurations
All checkpoints are pre-installed and ready to use on MimicPC’s WebUI Forge platform. Hardware options range from medium tier (T4 16GB VRAM) to ultra tier (L40S 48GB VRAM) to suit your specific needs. Just choose your preferred hardware configuration and start creating right away with no setup required.
Required settings for successful Flux on WebUI Forge
When using Flux models with WebUI Forge, proper settings can make a big difference in the output quality.
core memory management
1. Swap places
CPU Swap: A reliable but slow option that uses CPU memory for overflow.
Shared memory swap: up to 15% faster on high RAM MimicPC models
2. Swap method
Queue: A safe option for sequential layer processing
Asynchronous: Recommended for MimicPC Large-Pro and Ultra models for faster processing
3. GPU weight
Adjustable based on available VRAM
Start with the midrange settings
Increase VRAM if allowed to speed up processing
Distilled CFG settings
Set CFG scale to 1.0.
Enable distilled CFG guidance (default: 3.5)
If CFG = 1, negation prompt is disabled
The model will process the configuration naturally without any negative prompts
