I have a system with a very high-end CPU (for a workstation), a 12th
generation Intel i9, but a low-end GPU (Radeon RX470 with 6 gb of RAM).

Is it possible to do any sort of AI training on that setup, say if you're
willing to process at 5% of an nVidia GPU's speed? I just want to play with
it, see if it's worth investing more money, at this point. I don't mind, if,
say, training a LORA takes an hour per photo, or even 6 hours per photo.

Sorry if I mangled any terminology, this is not my field and I'm (as you
guessed by now) just starting to learn it.

Thanks.

If you want to make a point, somebody will take the point and stab you with it.
