AI virtual staging costs: ControlNet Depth (depth conditioning) cuts GPU 52% — adopt?

ControlNet Depth yields 0–35% GPU savings only when replacing multi-pass ControlNet stacks, not 52%. Single RGB img2img passes incur 8–15% overhead instead.

Abstract

ControlNet Depth yields 0–35% GPU savings only when replacing multi-pass ControlNet stacks, not 52%. Single RGB img2img passes incur 8–15% overhead instead.
