I’ve recently built a PC with i7-4790K, ASUS Maximus VII Hero, and, relevantly, a TITAN X. I have installed the driver 350.12. However, I am running into problems when trying to install CUDA 7.0 or 6.5 on windows 7 sp1 64bit. The installer gives the below warning:
“This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware. You may continue installation, but you will not be able to run CUDA applications.”
Has anyone run into the same problem? Has anyone successfully installed CUDA 7/6.5 on windows 7 64 for a TITAN X? I’ve contacted NVIDIA support and tried disabling the integrated graphics card to no avail.
That is expected behavior. The driver bundled with either CUDA 7 or CUDA 6.5 is not compatible with your Titan X.
There is an option when installing CUDA to skip the driver installation. You should (de-)select that option and retain your current driver. Beyond that, CUDA should work correctly. CUDA 7 is recommended of course.
Thanks! This is a good point and I can’t believe that it’s been overlooked by me until being pointed out. I do think Nvidia should/could’ve documented it on the CUDA download page or release note though…
I’ve tried ignoring the warning and going ahead with the installation. I didn’t actually de-select “Graphics Driver”, as doing so would uncheck “GPU Deployment Kit”, which I assume is important. So I left both selected and when it finished the summary said the GPU Deployment Kit was installed, but not the driver.
deviceQuery and nvidia-smi return proper info and my application is running. Again, thanks!
