INT8 ConvRot: The New Standard That Makes FP8 Obsolete

INT8 ConvRot, natively supported in ComfyUI v0.27.0, is a new quantization method that combines INT8 encoding with a rotation-based technique to handle outliers. It outperforms FP8 and FP8 Scaled on RTX 40/50 series and offers significant speedups on older RTX 20/30 series, which lack FP8 hardware support. This article explains the method, its performance, and how to use it in ComfyUI and Forge Neo.

INT8 ConvRot will become the standard for all 8-bit quantized models.
