Ollama uses the AMD ROCm library which works well with many AMD GPUs not listed as compatible by forcing an LLVM target.

The original Ollama documentation is wrong as the following can not be set for individual GPUs, only all or none, as shown at github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/8473

AMD GPU issue fix

1. Check your GPU is not already listed as compatibility at github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/gpu.md#linux-support
2. Edit the Ollama service file. This uses the text editor set in the $SYSTEMD_EDITOR environment variable.

sudo systemctl edit ollama.service

3. Add the following, save and exit. You can try different versions as shown at github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/gpu.md#overrides-on-linux

[Service]
Environment="HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0"

4. Restart the Ollama service.

sudo systemctl restart ollama
