Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/8694

Hello,

According to my tests, using ollama on MAC with an M2 chip is efficient. The GPU is used by default.

On MACs with Intel chips plus GPU, the performance is not good. The mac is on 13.7.2. The GPU is not used by default.

  • intel iris plus graphics 650 1536 MB
  • Processor 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7 dual core.

Is it possible to set up a configuration to use the GPU?

Guillaume

Ollama’s GPU support is primarily optimized for Nvidia GPUs with a compute capability of 5.0 or higher. This means that Intel’s integrated GPUs, like the Iris Plus Graphics 650, are not currently supported for GPU acceleration in Ollama.
