    I would try what the other commenter here said first. If that doesn’t fix your issue, I would try using the Forge version of WebUI (a fork of that WebUI with various memory optimizations, native extensions and other features): https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge. This is what I personally use.

    I use a 6000-series GPU instead of a 7000-series one, so the setup may be slightly different for you, but I’ll walk you through what I did for my Arch setup.

    Me personally, I skipped that Wiki section on AMD GPUs entirely and it seems the WebUI still respects and utilizes my GPU just fine. Simply running the webui.sh file will do most of the heavy lifting for you (you can see in the webui.sh file that it uses specific configurations and ROCm versions for different AMD GPU series like Navi 2 and 3)

    1. Git clone that repo, git clone https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge stable-diffusion-webui (the stable-diffusion-webui directory name is important, webui.sh’s script seems to reference that directory name specifically)
    2. From my experience it seems webui.sh and webui-user.sh are in the wrong spot, make symlinks to them so the symlinks are at the same level as the stable-diffusion-webui directory you created: ln stable-diffusion-webui/webui.sh webui.sh (ditto for webui-user.sh)
    3. Edit the webui-user.sh file. You don’t really have to change much in here, but I would recommend export COMMANDLINE_ARGS="--theme dark" if you want to save your eyes from burning.
    4. Here’s where things get a bit tricky: You will have to install Python 3.10, there is warnings that newer versions of Python will not work. I tried running the script with Python 3.12 and it failed trying to grab specific pip dependencies. I use the AUR for this; use yay -S python310 or paru -S python310 or whatever method you use to install packages from the AUR. Once you do that, edit webui-user.sh so that python_cmd looks like this: python_cmd="python3.10"
    5. Run the webui.sh file: chmod u+x webui.sh, then ./webui.sh
    6. Setup will take a while, it has to download and install all dependencies (including a model checkpoint, which is multiple gigabytes in size). If you notice it errors out at some points, try deleting the entire venv directory from within the stable-diffusion-webui directory and running the script again. This actually worked in my case, not really sure what went wrong…
    7. After a while, the webUI will launch. If it doesn’t automatically open your browser, then you can check the console for the URL, it’s usually http://127.0.0.1:7860. Select the proper checkpoint in the top left, write down a test prompt and hopefully it should be pretty speedy, considering your GPU.

    Yes, I torrent on the same machine where all my personal stuff is. The biggest reason for this is that I don’t have a dedicated machine to torrent 24/7, though I’d definitely like to set that up at some point. I like being able to seed niche torrents to those who need them, and a machine seeding 24/7 would definitely help with that. Also having easy simple access to the downloaded files is always a plus, but there’s a myriad of ways to do this over a local network (pretty sure some torrenting clients even have an option to torrent over LAN).

    My torrent client is bound to my VPN’s network interface, and my VPN has a killswitch as well, so I’m not paranoid that things will suddenly leak. Been running this setup for months now without issues.
