TL;DR

Install the AMD driver package to utilize the AMD GPU with Ollama.

Guidance

  • Verify that the AMD driver package is compatible with the Ollama version 0.20.2 and the specific AMD GPU model (7900xtx).
  • Check the Ollama documentation for specific instructions on installing the AMD driver package.
  • Ensure that the GPU is properly recognized by the system and that there are no other system-level issues preventing the GPU from being utilized.
  • Consider checking for any updates to Ollama or the AMD driver package that may resolve the issue.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the AMD GPU and the Ollama version, so any solution may depend on the specifics of these components.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Install the AMD driver package, as this is the most direct solution to the issue described.
