From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have run Stable Diffusion models successfully with my ancient Vega 64 with 8 gb vram. However, it does occasionally run out of memory and crash when I run models that want all 8 gigs. I have to run it without a proper DE(openbox, falkon browser with one tab only) if I dont want it to crash frequently.
How bad are your crashes? Mine will either freeze the system entirely or crash the current lightdm session, sometimes recovering, sometimes freezing anyway. Needs power cycle to rescue. What is the DE you speak of? openbox?
the reset situation may improve in the not too distant future: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMDGPU-Per-Ring-Resets
yes, mine are similar. I used to run kde plasma while generating but plasma took too much vram, so now im using icewm. I noticed that the crashes happen when something needed vram when its already all used, so thats why icewm reduces crashes, since its very light on resources.
That seems strange. Perhaps you should stress-test your GPU/system to see if it's a hardware problem.
I had that concern as well with it being a new card. It performs fine in gaming as well as in every glmark benchmark so far. I have it chalked up to amd support being in experimenntal status on linux/SD. Any other stress tests you recommend while I'm in the return window!? lol
I've used this before: https://github.com/wilicc/gpu-burn?tab=readme-ov-file
Yeah, it may be a driver issue, Nvidia/pytorch handles OOM gracefully on my system.
Ah, thanks. It is my AMD card causing crashes with SD in my experience. NVIDIA is native to CUDA hence the stability.
