What video cards are working well with Linux and Stable Diffusion ATM? Laptops? RTX 4050-4080?

What are you independently running? What are the limitations of your setup in practice, and what level of hardware is really needed in your opinion?

I’m disabled and need at laptop, - for reasons. Looking seriously at System76 options under $3k, so 6-8gbv RTX 4050 or 4060. I want to integrate SD into a Blender CAD workflow. Is this practical?

I would be interested if anyone here has experience with running SD on an Intel Arc A770 16gb under Linux. Seems like the most affordable card with open drivers right now.

I think the big thing with SD on nvidia is the CUDA API. I’ve seen posts and articles on the efforts of AMD to push their open source ROCm API as a replacement for proprietary nvidia. I thought I had commented on a post here with an article summary of a white paper showing at the ultra high end, like $10k video cards, AMD is already performing at 80% compared to nvidia, but am having trouble finding that one. I haven’t heard much about what Intel is doing in this space. I think it all comes down to this API and how much it is adopted.
