I got this output from nvidia-smi, it shows the cuda version is 12.3
but Ive installed cuda toolkit 12.6 from CUDA Toolkit 12.6 Update 3 Downloads | NVIDIA Developer
I think there might be some issues in my codes caused by cuda version older than cuda toolkit version, how should I solve it?

What does nvcc -V show?

The Cuda version indicated in nvidia-smi is the version up to which the driver supports, so updating to a newer driver is required.

$ nvcc -V
nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver

I actually have no experience how to update a nvidia driver

Edited as you seem to be on Windows.

Go to Download The Latest Official NVIDIA Drivers and enter appropriate parameters.
