Artificial intelligence on the rise
...and 48DESIGN is right in the middle of it all!
Maybe you have already come into contact with ChatGPT or even "Stable Diffusion". You really can't get past it at the moment. We have decided not just to watch, but to participate and take advantage of the new opportunities as they arise. For example, we use ChatGPT to program even faster and Stable Diffusion to generate customized images. Every day these tools get better and better!

The first image above was created by an AI image generator and generated as the cover image for our news "Sommerpause 2022". The second image with similar prompt (textual description as starting point for image generation), created with a recent version of Stable Diffusion. The images are now often extremely close to a photo or even indistinguishable from a photo at all. Of course, other styles such as painting and the like can still be generated. The possibilities are almost endless!
Another application is the upscaling of images. What was science fiction just a few years ago and popular in every crime television series is now reality. A few pixels are enough for an AI to create high-resolution images. We also already use this possibility almost every day. After all, not every image material provided meets our high quality standards. Depending on the motif, a fourfold magnification or even more is possible without distorting the image!
But we don't want to just take what is given to us for free! 48DESIGN wants to offer you an innovative solution for graphics card management. Therefore, we have developed a 'GPU Selection Tool' especially for users interested in Stable Diffusion and those who work with multiple graphics cards. This graphics card management tool is a mini-software that creates an entry in the Windows Explorer context menu and allows programs to run on a specific CUDA-enabled graphics card. It is ideal for power users who have multiple graphics cards in their PC and want to optimize performance. For example, you can use the tool to run the most popular GUI for Stable Diffusion, 'Automatic1111', in parallel on multiple graphics cards! Or generate images with Stable Diffusion on one graphics card while training a LoRA model on another graphics card. If you are looking for an efficient way to manage your graphics cards, our GPU selection tool offers multiple uses.
Here you can download the GPU Selection Tool Installer: Download RunWithGPU.
The handling of the tool is simple and user-friendly. The installer asks for the number of CUDA-enabled graphics cards present in the computer and automatically creates the necessary entries in the Windows Explorer context menu, as well as an uninstaller that can clean everything up again. After installation, an option appears in the right-click menu of Windows Explorer, allowing you to select the desired graphics card for launching an application. The current version of our graphics card management tool supports applications with .exe, .bat and .ps1 (Powershell) file extensions.
Use our tool to get the most out of your graphics cards and optimize your workflows. Have fun with it!
