Any chance to get SD running on mobile Ryzen APU e.g. Ryzen Pro 4750U (Renoir)?

Short answer no. Long answer "in theory" yes. I tried this [1] but gave up as building rocm + deps takes up to 6h :/ Official statement [2]

For anyone on Arch, there is a third-party repository called arch4edu[0] that provides up to date builds of ROCm and its dependencies. On my iGPU, OpenCL sometimes works, sometimes crashes. Even finding a list of supported hardware is close to impossible. The whole situation is just ridiculous and makes AMD look bad.

AMD doesn't actually care.

For them, GPGPU is a pro level feature not worth supporting on most customer GPUs. They are doing much more feature segmentation than NVIDIA ever did.

Can you give SHARK a try and let us know on our discord? We can try to help. People have been using it on older AMD GPUs back to Polaris arch.

This worked for me with a 5700xt:

nod-ai/SHARK from the original submission is by far the fastest way I've found to run Stable Diffusion on a 5700 XT.

For 50 iterations:

* ONNX on Windows was 4-5 minutes

* ROCm on Arch Linux was ~2.5 minutes

* SHARK on Windows is ~30 seconds

I’ll have to give this a go over the weekend!
