Is it possible that CUDNN is properly installed if I don't have mnistCUDA or anything else in the cuda_samples_v8 folder?

AI & Data Science Deep Learning (Training & Inference) cuDNN

Hello,
I do not have anything beside NVIDIA_SLA_cuDNN_Support.txt in the cudnn_samples_v8 folder. Given that the folder exists, I am willing to believe that cudnn is installed properly. If it is not, then why is the folder there? I have searched a lot for the standalone samples download, but i cannot find it anywhere on the internet. I am using Ubuntu 22.04,
cuda 11.7,
cudnn 8.6.0.163_1-1+cuda11.8 and I installed cudnn through the ubuntu network installation.
Could it be due to the fact that I only have cuda toolkit 11.7, but there is cuda11.8 in the version of cudnn I’m using?
Here’s the nvidia-smi:

Could removing everything cudnn related and installing it from the tar file help me?

Hi @krzysiekd.navy ,
There are multiple ways cudnn can be installed.
You may want to validate your installation steps and compatibility matrix for cudnn.
Please let us know if the issue still persist.

Thanks
