Last time I tried DirectML it wasn't well supposed and there was little software which supported it. Also the performance seemed to be not too great. I am currently using a Linux install because with ROCm I can use popular tools like Automatic111 webui and oobabooga.

I trained a WGAN on torch-directml with no issues so the software seems quite supported. But I can’t speak of performance because I have nothing to compare against.

I gave it a try. Yeah seems like it works well on the functional side, but the performance was at least 4x slower than what ROCm on Linux gives me.
