I’m finally looking to make the jump from Midjourney to a 100% local open source setup. I'm tired of the subscription fees and the strict censorship, so I want to build a PC specifically for running ComfyUI (and eventually some local video generation).

I'm looking at GPUs and I can get more VRAM for my money if I go with AMD. I keep seeing people say "Nvidia is the only way for AI," but is that actually true for ComfyUI today?

If I buy an AMD card to get that cheaper VRAM, is it going to be a nightmare to get nodes working, or has support gotten better? Is spending the extra money for Nvidia actually mandatory, or just overhyped? Would love to hear from anyone currently running an AMD setup!
