In the first part of the Ref2VA generation process, when the Minimax H3 Reference node is working, my GPU usage is at 100% with VRAM nearly maxed out and half my RAM filled. But the GPU temperature is the same as when it is idle. The time it takes for this process to complete is directly proportion…
