Also ensure VS 17 is completely closed while downloading CUDA. NOTE : While downloading choose express if you don’t have any idea about the software.

Select installer type exe(local) and download the download list in a sequence and install them one after the other in a sequence. You can check the compute capabilities and compatibility below : The latest environment, called “CUDA Toolkit 9”, requires a compute capability of 3 or higher STEP 1: Check for compatibility of your graphics card. NOTE : I’m writing this post keeping in mind that you have already installed anaconda or anyother platform (preferably anaconda) and keeping in mind you already have nvidia graphics card(To check you have nvidia graphics card - goto - “Device Manager” -> click on “Display adapters” -> Hopefully a Nvidia chip is listed”.

SSD or HDD : A SSD with atleast 256gb is required for faster processing.The 128gb SSD falls short of space after the installation of the softwares.

GPU : CUDA is compatible with almost all the models from 2006 but a minimum of gtx 1050ti, 1060 and above are required.

You can also get on with a 8gb ram, but it has it’s own complications.

RAM : A minimum of 16 gb RAM is required.

Prerequisites : If you have laptop of below requirements you can download the CUDA software. I myself had certain difficulties while downloading and installing the programs and drivers.

I try to cover all the relevant topics required.

Today I am going to show how to install pytorch or tensorflow with CUDA enabled GPU. Only Nvidia GPUs have the CUDA extension which allows GPU support for Tensorflow and PyTorch.( So this post is for only Nvidia GPUs only) Nvidia is also really forward in deep learning and has been really advanced in deep learning applications. Nvidia, the leader in manufacturing graphics card, has created CUDA a parallel computing platform. Deep learning is using GPUs for obtaining complex calculations in CONVNETS and Sequence modelling done in a fair amount of time. You may been seeing the the power of GPU’s in recent years.
