How can I install CUDA to work correctly with my older nvidia driver so I can conduct some GPU computations? Is there a list someplace that lists the what CUDA toolkits go with each NVIDIA driver? I suspect I need an older toolkit, I just don't know which one.
#Nvidia cuda toolkit compatibility manual#
The Linux Getting Started Manual says I should just need to install CUDA with apt-get but I need an older driver for my graphics card. I have verified that the nvidia-346 is the problem by specifically installing it as opposed to nvidia-current. Naturally, I thought I could then install cuda with: sudo apt-get install cudaīut this tries to install nvidia-346 on my system causing my system to no longer display my desktop and the installation is incorrect. Sudo apt-get install nvidia-current (this installs nvidia-304 in my case)Īfter rebooting, a quick query shows that my kernel is indeed using nvidia successfully lspci -vnn | grep -i VGA -A 12Ġ1:00.0 VGA compatible controller : NVIDIA Corporation GT218 (rev a2) (prog-if 00 ) I have tried to complete the installation successfully but have stumbled upon a problem. For instance, a minimum version of the gcc compiler is needed for compatibility with specific CUDA versions.I have been provided an older NVIDIA graphics card (GeForce 8400 GS) to begin exploring some GPU computing. The third thing you may need to consider is compiler compatibility.

#Nvidia cuda toolkit compatibility drivers#
CUDA Version Minimum Compute Capability Default Compute Capability The NVIDIA drivers are designed to be backward compatible to older CUDA versions, so a system with NVIDIA driver version 384.81 can support CUDA 9.0. 101 304.xx is a driver that will support CUDA 5 and previous (does not support newer CUDA versions. NVIDIA states that each version of CUDA toolkit requires certain minimum NVIDIA display version that should be satisfied. This in turn means that I need to install an nVidia driver that is compatible with my CUDA version.


Using MATLAB and Parallel Computing Toolbox, you can: Use NVIDIA GPUs directly from MATLAB with over 500 built-in functions. For instance, my laptop has an nVidia CUDA 2.1 GPU, which means I can't install a CUDA toolkit more recent than CUDA 8.0 GA2. Free trial MATLAB enables you to use NVIDIA GPUs to accelerate AI, deep learning, and other computationally intensive analytics without having to be a CUDA programmer.

A GPU will support a specific compute version, and if your CUDA version minimum compute capability is higher than that supported by your GPU, your code will not compile or run. The other half is the Compute Capability. The driver version is only half of the compatibility equation. GPU, CUDA Toolkit, and CUDA Driver Requirements The following sections highlight the compatibility of NVIDIA cuDNN versions with the various supported NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit, CUDA driver, and NVIDIA hardware versions. The general support matrix is contained in the linux install guide for the specific CUDA version of interest.įor reference, on linux, the previous CUDA toolkits required the following minimum driver versions: For versions newer than 11.0, refer to the table in the release notes linked belowĪ portion of this table is maintained as Table 3 here in the release notes. Not all distros are supported on every CUDA toolkit version. Note that any given CUDA toolkit has specific Linux distros (including version number) that are supported. Older CUDA toolkits are available for download here. > Applications using PTX will see runtime issues > Applications that. Starting with CUDA 9.x, older CUDA GPUs of compute capability 2.x are also not supported. Refer to the > CUDA Compatibility Developers Guide for more details. cuda 11.1 adds 8.6: Added support for NVIDIA Ampere GPU architecture based GA10x GPUs GPUs (compute capability 8.6), including the GeForce RTX-30 series. Note that CUDA 7 will not be usable with older CUDA GPUs of compute capability 1.x.

This is not necessary if you want to use CUDA 7, you can just use the runfile installer method which has all the necessary components including an appropriate driver (346.46). I believe you are picking up a 304.xx driver via a specific (ie. If you want to reinstall ubuntu to create a clean setup, the linux getting started guide has all the instructions needed to set up CUDA if that is your intent. 304.xx is a driver that will support CUDA 5 and previous (does not support newer CUDA versions.)
