The recently released TF 1.13 is built against CUDA 10 (.0 presumably?)
For a new build with TF 1.13 as the target application, is it recomennded to use CUDA 10.0 or 10.1?

10.0 for sure. tensorflow seems to be a fragile piece of software, everytime there is a cuda update it breaks. At this point apparently only the latest TF 1.13.1 released less than a week ago compiles with cuda 10.0, doubt that any tensorflow in release would work with 10.1, besides cuda 10.1 seems to be broken for other reason, see other threads.

@bernard Yes Tensorflow 1.13.1 dosen’t work with CUDA 10.1. I am in process to compile 1.13.1 with CUDA 10.0. Hope it works

Use the script generated by CUDA installer as
```auto
sudo /usr/local/cuda-X.Y/bin/uninstall_cuda_X.Y.p
```
Replace XY with your version of CUDA.

How to down-grade CUDA 10.1 to CUDA 10.0?
```
What is your OS and how did you install cuda?
If you are on Ubuntu and installed cuda with Nvidia’s ubuntu repo then it is really simple
```auto
sudo apt uninstall cuda
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt update
sudo apt install cuda-10-0
```
Here “cuda” and “cuda-10-0” are metapackages cuda always update to the latest, in this case cuda10.1. Whereas cuda-version-number doesn’t update (others available are cuda-9-2, cuda-9-1 etc, you can easily search for them if you have synaptic, or use the command “apt-cache search cuda”)
If you are on Windows or Mac then I have no idea.

From the [documentation](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html#removing-cuda-tk-and-driver)
```auto
Ubuntu
To remove CUDA Toolkit:
$ sudo apt-get --purge remove "*cublas*" "cuda*"
To remove NVIDIA Drivers:
$ sudo apt-get --purge remove "*nvidia*"
```
Though it defines different uninstall for runfile and debfile installations at some other paragraph.
However, once removed - reboot and install cuda 10.0
it can be downloaded from [CUDA Toolkit 10.0 Archive | NVIDIA Developer](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-10.0-download-archive)

You don’t need to download from archive again. Nvidia’s deb repository has multiple cuda
All you have to do, instead of installing cuda
```auto
sudo apt install cuda-10-0
```

They seem to have taken the cuda-10-0 target out of the latest repo.

The network .deb file from the 10.0 archive ([https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-10.0-download-archive?target\_os=Linux&target\_arch=x86\_64&target\_distro=Ubuntu&target\_version=1804&target\_type=debnetwork](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-10.0-download-archive?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&target_distro=Ubuntu&target_version=1804&target_type=debnetwork)) should get you what you need. I just tried it, and I was able to run sudo apt-get install cuda-10-0 after uninstalling cuda 10.1.

TensorFlow 1.14 only works with CUDA 10.0, as I recently [learned the hard way](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57192931/tensorflow-gpu-not-being-utilized-cuda-is-installed-but-the-gpu-appears-to-not).
This shows the dependency on CUDA version 10.0 as well: [使用 pip 安装 TensorFlow](https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu)
