Running Z-Image Turbo locally on an RX 6800: full ROCm setup, 43s per image
AstroFieldsGlowing · reddit · 2026-09-15
A Reddit user shared a complete working setup for running Z-Image Turbo BF16 locally on AMD hardware via ComfyUI.
- Hardware: Radeon RX 6800 (16GB VRAM, RDNA 2), Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM, 15GB swap
- Software stack: Bazzite Linux + Podman 5.8.4 with the yanwk/comfyui-boot:rocm6 container image, PyTorch 2.6.0+rocm6.4.4
- Results: max resolution of 1072x656 — anything higher causes OOM and ComfyUI disconnection; 10 steps per image takes roughly 43 seconds
A directly reusable reference for anyone wanting local image generation on AMD GPUs without Nvidia.
