I have a consumer GPU (1050), and would like to know about the minimum hardware requirements to use cuQuantum.
Thank you.

Hi @hnohata,

Unfortunately, your card is running the older Pascal architecture. Only Volta and Ampere architectures are supported.

Thank you very much.

I would like to clarify that when we say “supported” we mean optimized for, and regularly tested. It should also run on consumer grade GPUs with compute capability greater than 7.0. Please see our updated documentation which outlines our HW/SW requirements.
