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.

    Just checked RDNA2 may not be fully supported HIP. Check this REDDIT guide for llama based adventures.

    Did u run

    rocm-smi

    to check if you have rocm installed?

    Check this issue at invoke’s hub for your same problem.

    critically, don’t forget:

    #!/bin/bash

    export HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0

    bash invoke.sh

    Regarding upgrades

    The 9060XT would be a much better choice than the 5060 if one uses Linux and is upgrading, although, seeing price trends lately, nothing looks like a good choice at all at the moment. Maybe a second hand 7800xt, that would be a 20-30% upgrade.

      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 🤣.
