Easy Diffusion (and sdkit) now also support AMD on Windows automatically (using DirectML), thanks to integrating with torchruntime. It also supports integrated GPUs (Intel and AMD) on Windows, making Easy Diffusion faster on PCs without dedicated graphics cards.

Spent most of the day doing some support work for Easy Diffusion, and experimenting with torch-directml for AMD support on Windows.
From the initial experiments, torch-directml seems to work properly with Easy Diffusion. I ran it on my NVIDIA card, and another user ran it on their AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT.
It’s 7-10x faster than the CPU, so looks promising. It’s 2x slower than CUDA on my NVIDIA card, but users with NVIDIA cards are not the target audience of this change.
