Absolute beginner here! Is there any hope for running Stable Diffusion locally on an RX 6600?

Hey everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹ Iโ€™m completely new to the AI world and have been spending some time researching local image generation. However, I keep hitting a wall: a lot of sources are telling me my PC can't handle Stable Diffusion, mostly because of my AMD setup. Before I throw in the towel, I wanted to get some expert opinions. Hereโ€™s my current rig: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 GPU: ASUS Dual Radeon RX 6600 (8GB VRAM) RAM: 16GB DDR4 Storage: 512GB SSD + 1TB HDD To be clear, I have zero interest in generating or editing videos. My only goal is to generate and edit hyper-realistic images.
