Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/2064

I tried running ollama on a laptop and noticed that it wasn't using gpu. I don't know why as cuda is installed and is the correct version for the video drivers.
I'd like to request an enhancement, of an error message that says something to the effect of gpu noticed but not used because....

I'd also like to be able to see the message when running ollama, something like
/show ollamasystem

Could you provide more information about your computer and what OS you're running and such?

Yet when running a model the GPU does nothing
