nvprof ./playground > out.ppm
======== Warning: This version of nvprof doesn't support the underlying device, GPU profiling skipped

Hi,

nvprof from the CUDA 10.1 must support the GPU GTX 1660. Do you have multiple CUDA toolkits installed in the system? Can you please report the nvprof version?
$nvprof -V

Heya, thanks for answer! The cuda version that I have installed is 10.0, not 10.1.

Hi,

CUDA toolkit 10.0 doesn’t support GTX 1660. Please upgrade to CUDA 10.1 or a later toolkit. Thanks!

After installing CUDA 10.1 it was fixed. Thanks!
