Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/16048

I'm running into a sw_power_cap issue at only about 60% TDP on my RTX 4000 card which is in my unRAID server. Are there trigger limits specifically for Nvidia cards?

Running on unRAID 6.12.15 with the latest Nvidia driver 575.51.02 (super new to managing hardware down to this level to bare with me please)

Don't know anything about unRAID but if it has NVIDIA tools installed, nvidia-smi can set the power limit for some architectures.
