need help with ollama

hello i have an endeavourOS setup on a laptop with 40GB of ram and 8GB of vram (rx6800s) and AMD ryzen 9 6900HS
ollama is installed as a system service with vulkan extras from official arch repos
cline and librechat and odysseus are connected to the local ollama instance

here are my problems with ollama:
offloading layers to vram tanks my tk/s to nearly half
sometimes the response cuts out on librechat while the same model works fine on cline or directly on ollama (my suspicion is context limit)
ollama randmoly decides the gpu isn't there and does full cpu load

here is a list of things i tried:
ram speed is at full DDR5 speeds during generation
ollama correctly identifies the gpu and ignores the igpu
running smaller models like qwen3.5 that fully fits in the vram still gives me about 2 to 3 tk/s
switched to rocm version of ollama and saw no difference

temperatures are under control and nothing thermal throttles
using lm studio improves the generation to the higher end of 3 tk/s but nothing further
the laptop is plugged in and in high performance profile
qwen3.5:9b and qwen3.8:27b and gpt-oss:20b and gemma4:31b all max out at 3 tk/s

it seems like no matter the model size or if its a full vram scenario or full ram i'm locked at 2 tk/s
i am out of ideas at this point
any help would be appreciated, thank you very much
