I own a single R9700 for the same reason you mentioned, looking into getting a second one. Was a lot of fiddling to get working on arch but RDNA4 and ROCm have come a long way. Every once in a while arch package updates break things but that’s not exclusive to ROCm.

LLM’s run great on it, it’s happily running gemma4 31b at the moment and I’m quite impressed. For the amount of VRAM you get it’s hard to beat, apart from the Intel cards maybe. But the driver support doesn’t seem to be that great there either.

Had some trouble with running comfyui, but it’s not my main use case, so I did not spent a lot of time figuring that out yet

This is correct. I have a couple of analog oscillators in my modular rack and the case needs to heat up for a couple of minutes before they generate a stable pitch. Not familiar with the exact reasons to be honest.

I feel your pain, I’ve been there. If you go to the person in the photos app, there’s an option to feature that person less in memories.
