Dear community,
I have an old “NVIDIA Corporation GK208B [GeForce GT 730] (rev a1)” and running Debian 11.8. I tried to follow following approaches to get cuda 8 running in compatibility with above mentioned gforce - as I understood cuda 11 is not supporting Geforce GT730.
Starting runfile with following command:
“sudo sh cuda_8.0.61_375.26_linux-run --override --tmpdir /home”
I get following output:
