    Semi-relevant story time!

    A couple weeks ago I was watching a favorite Youtuber, 12Tone, deconstructing a song I wasn't aware of. During the intro he made a joke about trying to explain the song, then stopped, saying everyone already knew what the song was. I had no idea at all. So I went and listened to the song and looked up a bit more about it.

    Due to some weird convergence of chance and Matrix-esque internet dodging that I didn't know I was doing, I somehow missed out on the phenomenon that was Mr. Brightside.

    It's a really good song and I had the fortune to be one of that day's lucky 10,000.

    Camp NaNoWriMo Victory

    This is the fourth NaNo event I've participated in and my fourth win. I set my goal at 25k words, so just half a real NaNo, but more focused on an area of my writing that I'm severely lacking. The month has helped improve it a bit so that's been nice. Also pretty happy that I finished a week ahead of time. Maybe for next camp, I'll up my goal a bit to push me a bit harder. But anyway, I accomplished something important to me and got another certificate to hang on my wall which I'm pretty happy about. Figured I'd share.

    Thanks. It is very likely I've screwed it up somehow. I tried other things and they would only use cpu, but I know for sure that isn't the case this time.

    Stable Diffusion IntheTreetop 1 year ago 100%
    Is there anything on the horizon that might indicate an increase in performance of AMD GPUs?

    I'm using the DirectML fork of A1111 because it's the only one I can get to work. For professional reasons, I have to have an AMD gpu. I had a 6650 and was able to upgrade to the 6700xt for the extra vram, but the change has made no difference in errors telling me I'm out of vram. I am a fairly frustrated because it seems I'm locked out of a lot of really neat and powerful features. Generating a batch of 4 images at 512x512 already takes a couple minutes. Moving that resolution at all jumps up the time considerably. I can do very little with img2img and ControlNet is effectively useless for me. So, now that I'm done whining, is there any news about AMD improvements that might bring performance up to even a decent level with comparable Nvidia cards?

    I'm stuck with an AMD card for other purposes so I pretty much have to use the DirectML fork which is okay, but it's very slow and despite having 12gb of video ram, I still get the out of ram messages all the time. But, hopefully some progress will be made somewhat soon on those cards.

    But it is fun, that's for sure.
