Switching to AMD RX 9070 XT Causes Heavy Artifacts in Local SDXL Generation
klobasa739 · reddit · 2026-08-01
A user shared their frustrating experience with local image generation after upgrading from an RTX 3060 to an AMD RX 9070 XT. After a clean Windows install and configuring the ROCm backend for Krita AI Diffusion, previously flawless SDXL models (like Lustify Apex V8) began producing heavy artifacts, repeating noise patterns, and mutations.
The author tried swapping to the sdxl-vae-fp16-fix VAE with no improvement. While the Realistic Vision model didn't break entirely, it generated highly unnatural eyes. The user is asking the AMD ROCm community if anyone has experienced similar issues and if there are workarounds regarding launch arguments or precision settings.
