Setting up a running local AI and Stable should be shortlisted around the job it must do. South African buyers should compare fit, performance, compatibility, and upgrade room, warranty path, and upgrade room before treating any pick as best.
A local AI and Stable Diffusion rig in Klerksdorp is decided by GPU VRAM. The RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB (~R10,500) runs SDXL at roughly 2 iterations/sec and Flux.1 without out-of-memory errors; the RTX 4070 Ti Super 16 GB is faster still. Pair the GPU with a Ryzen 5 7600 and 32 GB DDR5. VRAM, not CPU speed, sets what models you can run.
SD loads the whole model into GPU memory, so VRAM caps the workload:
On the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB, SDXL runs about 2 it/s at 1024px (a 25-step image in roughly 12-15 seconds).
Klerksdorp is in North West, so Evetech deliveries take 2-3 business days via the inland route; power-test before signing.
The RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB runs SDXL at roughly 2 it/s at 1024px, so a typical 25-step image completes in about 12-15 seconds. SD 1.5 is much faster, and enabling xFormers speeds both up.
SDXL, Flux.1, SD 1.5 and most ComfyUI workflows with reasonable batch sizes. 16 GB is the comfortable tier for current image models; only video models and very large batches push toward 24 GB.
Yes, Evetech ships to Klerksdorp in North West in 2-3 business days. Power-test the GPU and confirm it's detected before signing.
and LoRAs on the fast NVMe and use ComfyUI's model caching - it cuts the load time when switching between SDXL, Flux and SD 1.5 models during a session.

Skip the RTX 5060 Ti for podcast recording when quiet operation, display support, and simple PC fit matter more. SA creators should compare thermals, port layout, local warranty, and editing needs before picking a GPU.
80+ Gold vs 80+ Platinum for video editing in 4k is about PSU efficiency, heat, fan behaviour, quality, and wattage headroom, not direct FPS. SA buyers should compare the whole build.
A recommended build for Marvel Rivals at R25 000 should feel clearly stronger than budget tiers while staying balanced. In SA, use the extra room for GPU power, CPU support, SSD capacity, case airflow, and upgrade flexibility.
File Explorer preview pane can be toggled with Alt+P. A downloaded file may still have its preview blocked by Windows security; that warning is different from a hidden panel or a broken drive.
File Explorer opens Home by default on current Windows 11 layouts. Set Open File Explorer to This PC if you prefer drives first; the change does not move documents or remove their Quick access pins.
Windows show hidden files is a File Explorer visibility option, not a recovery tool. Enable Hidden items to inspect a known folder, keep protected system files separate and avoid deleting unfamiliar entries.
Windows Snap layout popup appears when you hover over a window maximise button. Its dedicated Multitasking option can turn that flyout off; a popup missing in only one app may instead be an app-window issue.
File Explorer can attempt to restore previous folder windows at logon. Enable the Folder Options preference and test an ordinary local folder; do not assume it restores every tab, unsaved document or application after a restart.
Windows Sticky Keys shortcut can respond to repeated Shift presses during play. Review the keyboard accessibility setting and its shortcut separately, so you can stop accidental prompts while preserving an aid you may need.
Lenovo Legion 27Q-20 brings a 27-inch QHD IPS panel and 320Hz refresh capability to a new China-market listing. Check your PC, display port and desk before using a foreign launch price to set a South African budget.
Windows mouse double click speed changes how close together two clicks must be recognised. Test a small timing adjustment before replacing a mouse, and distinguish a slow double-click from a switch that registers extra clicks.
