I'm using the AMD compatible fork of auto1111 and it's mostly fine, but my video card only has 8gb of vram and I'm getting that annoying error about running out quite often. I'm about to pull the trigger on an upgrade that will give me 12gb, but it's still going to be an AMD card because I need it to be for other things.

I know very little about the AMD fork. I don't know if it's just some hacked together, barely holding by bubblegum and duct tape kind of project, or if my upgrade will actually solve my vram issues.

Anyone with more experience here with some advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
