For GPU compute drivers on the majority of their consumer cards on Linux the claims are most certainly true.



Huh? Not sure if I'm misunderstanding but I'm on Arch and I've been running my 6750XT with SD since like February. Got SDXL running a few months ago and have played with oobabooga a bit. Also compiled whisper.cpp with HIPblas the other day.

I also play a few dozen hours of games a month, some new, some old, some AAA, some indie. All through Steam's Proton with no driver issues whatsoever.


You may be running sdxl but according to benchmarks I’ve seen, nowhere near the speed of say, a 3070, or a 3080 12gb (if you want a nvidia product with comparable vram)
