Been using AMD gpus for years due to their superb Linux support. Would like to play around with AI image generation completely offline so a Nvidia gpu is kinda must. Besides that I do some gaming as well.

Currently I have AMD RX 6750 XT and am considering replacing it with a RTX 5060 TI with 16 GB vram. How well does Nvidia gpus work in modern Linux systems. I’m running Tumbleweed with KDE plasma on X11.

Other hardware is Ryzen 7 7700X and an Asrock B650 PG Lightning motherboard.

Edit: Been using InvokeAI so far but cpu only is super slow.

      Wish it was that simple. If I select AMD device to use it won’t work. It crashes with: RuntimeError: HIP error: invalid device function.

      Edit: Have a feeling it might be trying to use the igpu for some reason.

          You’re a life saver! Did the force reinstall mentioned in that github issue and ran Invoke with the command you provided. Now it runs with gpu rendering 🥳. Though I ran out of vram 🤣.
