Have Cuda and Vulkan co-exist in Ubuntu 16.04

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Setup and Installation
#1

Hi guys,

I installed CUDA 7.5 a while ago to be able to work on a work project from home.

But, I would like to also to play with Vulkan a bit and get familiar with it. So I install the driver we can all easily find on NVidia’s website.

The problem is that it breaks the CUDA installation. When I tried cuda after, it was not working. The current version of the driver with CUDA is 361.77, but 364.* or more is required for Vulkan.

Is there a way to have both of them installed without interfering with each other?

Regards,
W

You can certainly use newer drivers with CUDA 7.5

If you install drivers incorrectly (e.g. mixing package manager and runfile installer methods) that will break things.
