Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/10351

What is the issue?

Incorrect memory allocation: only 50% of the video card memory is being utilized, which is especially noticeable on the latest model gemma3:27b-it-qat. On other models, around 1-3 gigabyte of memory often remains unused, leading ollama to start using RAM

gemma3:27b-it-qat 29eb0b9aeda3 27 GB 10%/90% CPU/GPU 59 minutes from now
