Vulkan Speed Boost for Stable Diffusion on Unsupported AMD GPUs


Listen Later

In this episode, I break down how to run Stable Diffusion efficiently on AMD GPUs that no longer support ROCm, using Vulkan as the acceleration backend. I also cover the full Fedora 43 GPU passthrough fix, where the system continues hiding the GPU even after removing VFIO files from modprobe and rebuilding dracut. This walkthrough is based on the AMD Instinct MI60 32GB HBM2 and the v1-5-pruned-emaonly-fp16.safetensors model running in stable-diffusion.cpp.
