AMD AI Bundle Review

AMD is finally making local AI easy. With the new AI Bundle, you can run image generation and LLMs directly on your PC, no cloud, no subscriptions, no data leaving your system. We could even run a massive 120B parameter model on a small laptop, something impossible on any consumer GPU.

AMD is doing a dis-service to themself with comfy ui default settings. Manual installation of comfyui performance with default image generation template is around 15.5 it/s (9060XT).

With AMD AI bundle only 10 it/s. I am sure with different startup settings, this can be increased, but AMD should give the best default experience. Since comfy UI has windows native AMD builds, that one should have been used.

Regardless, AMD has improved a lot in last few months. It used to be 3.3 it/s for the default template.

Other comfy-ui models also work great on 9060XT.

Unfortunately LMStudio stopped working for me with vulcan and rocm. Vulcan stopped working after version 1.48 . Now its spits out garbage. Luckily llma-b with rocm build works perfectly.
