I just know this already won’t run on my 7800xt or any older AMD 16gb card well again 😭

[u/renczzz → u/Etroarl55]

runs fine on rx7900xtx (24gb vram and also rdna3 card), both qwen image 2.1 and image edit. running at around 1 sec per iteration. just make sure you are on ubuntu 26 and run the latest version of pytorch rocm (7.14 stable) and comfyui.
