Installing TensorFlow on 10 with GPU

Post date: Feb 04, 2018 4:12:20 AM

This post supersedes my earlier post on simply installing CUDA.

This is my version, for my Windows 10 machine, with GPU.

• • Install driver R390:

http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/390.77/390.77-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe

• • Install CUDA Toolkit 8.0:

https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/8.0/Prod2/local_installers/cuda_8.0.61_win10-exe

• • Double click on the installer until you get this dialog:

• • After installation, go to this directory to check existence of sample programs

C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\CUDA Samples\v8.0\bin\win64\Release

• • cuDNN v6.0

To cuDNN, joing the NVIDiA developer network at https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn. Then choose cuDNN v6.0 from the list

https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-download

The Tensorflow documentation says "the cuDNN version must match exactly: TensorFlow will not load if it cannot find cuDNN64_6.dll."
