CUDA Incompatibility With PyTorch

Hey everyone! I am trying to run the “run_nvidia_gpu” Command Prompt file for being able to use ComfyUI with my GeForce GT 710 graphics card rather than my CPU to hopefully get better performance and quicker outputs on AI generated images and short videos potentially. However, when I run that command, I get the “The NVIDIA driver on your system is too old (found version 11040). Please update your GPU driver by downloading and installing a new version from the URL: Official Drivers | NVIDIA Alternatively, go to: https://pytorch.org to install a PyTorch version that has been compiled with your version of the CUDA driver.” error. I am using the most up-to-date driver version (version 475.14) which I can verify through the GeForce Experience application. This driver runs CUDA 11.4, which I can verify through the release notes for the driver version and through running nvidia-smi: "±----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

I have downloaded PyTorch v1.12.1 for CUDA 11.3 (since I can’t find one that states it is compatible with CUDA 11.4) and have downgraded to driver version 466.77 that runs CUDA 11.3 to make it compatible with the PyTorch version before and I got the same error. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Nevermind guys, I just found out that my GeForce GT 710 graphics card itself is too old as it has a compute capability of 3.5 while PyTorch supports 3.7 at the lowest. My two options are to buy a newer graphics card or to build PyTorch from source (and I am going to build a DIY PC with an RTX 3070 soon so the first option works very well for me).
