There's not much out there for AMD on the windows side. Some programs are available on Linux and tend to have better performance to boot. That said the experience going from an Nvidia card to an AMD is night and day.
With my old 1080 I just installed an application from an exe and it just worked. I was up and running in 2 minutes and putting out good stuff.
On my current 6900XT it's a neverending saga of bullshit and the results are worse.
AMD just fucking sucks with AI. The raw power is there but all the programs where written with Cuda in mind so AMD suffers. There's some hope with a MS collaboration using Olive that is supposed to greatly increase performance and let you use Cuda based models, but I couldn't get it work. Also my boot is out of space since there's no option to set an alternate drive for the models. That might have something to do with it.

Have you tried symlinks?
As said symlinks are the way to go. The manager I posted above uses symlinks to share models across the interfaces you use with it.
That manager does look pretty slick. I'll give it a try this weekend, though without the olive optimization I'm betting the performance will be dogshit.
I should have just bit the bullet and got an Nvidia card. They're just so fucking greedy on their pricing.
I got that 1070 in 2019 for about $300USD They are finally back to about the same price after going up past $1400, complete bullshit. The only reason I consider nVidia any more is just because of the support they are given by almost every program.
