NVIDIA RTX A1000 Laptop GPU cuda compatibility

Hi @MarkusHoHo,

Thank you for the warm welcome to the NVIDIA developer forums. I’m excited to be a part of the wider CUDA development community!

Regarding the installation of CUDA, I’ve tried two methods. First, I followed the instructions on the NVIDIA website to install CUDA. Additionally, I also used the command “pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu117” to install PyTorch with CUDA support. I want to mention that I’m using Windows and not Linux.

I have taken the necessary steps to ensure that all the required paths are correctly set up. I understand the importance of a proper setup, especially when it comes to using CUDA with PyTorch.
It’s good to know that the A1000 GPU is compatible with the latest CUDA versions.
However, I am still encountering the same issue where CUDA is not available.

I would also like to mention that I am using a virtual machine, specifically an ncv3 instance. I have installed the appropriate driver from the Azure website, which indicates that CUDA 11 is the suitable version for it. I created a new environment and installed all the necessary dependencies, including CUDA 11. I have verified the paths, and when I run “!nvidia-smi,” I get the following output:

Additionally, when I run “!nvcc --version,” I get the following output:

nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver

However, when I run the following Python code:

print(torch.__version__)
print(torch.cuda.is_available())
print(torchvision.__version__)

I get the output:

2.0.1
False
0.15.2

I dant know what is the problem
If you have any further recommendations or details on CUDA setup, installation, or usage, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. Thank you once again for the warm welcome!
