Hello all, I’m in need of some advice, and hopefully this is the right place to ask! I’m a new developer and have just recently tried to set up my first GPU for my DL rig (RTX 3090) I’m excited to get going with some TensorFlow tasks with the 3090, but I’m having difficulty with the GPU/CUDA/CUDNN …

The pre-built deviceQuery.exe that ships with CUDA is a console application, at least up to CUDA 11.1. You would want to run that from a command prompt. If you are running it from within an IDE, you may have to configure the IDE so it does not close the window in which it displays console app output…

Thank you so much, this did the trick! It turns out my issue was trying to execute deviceQuery from WSL, but cmd ran just fine! Thank you for the thorough answer!

Thank you for the response! This might be different for CUDA 11… deviceQuery.exe definitely shipped in the Debug directory. Thank you again for the suggestion!

Correct, the location in which NVIDIA places deviceQuery.exe keeps on changing between versions. But it has always been (and I would expect it to continue to be) a console app on Windows, and therefore is best invoked from a Windows command prompt.

you need to build devicequery using visual studio then locate the exe in /release (not /debug) open cmd inside that directory then type deviceQuery.exe
