I have AMD Ryzen 5600 CPU and Nvidia 3070 GPU, windows 10 Home. I am trying to download Cuda 11.6.2 from the NVidia website. The download link seems broken. Any idea how I can get CUDA on my machine? Thanks. TC: 140k + 🍌 YOE: 2
No you don't need ubuntu for cuda, just find that cuda installation can be a real pain the ass and linux support is more abundant. Windows just adds a whole batch of weird ass errors you may run into What are you planning on using cuda with? C++ or python? If python, pytorch or tf?
I am going to learn both pytorch and tensorflow.
I know this is very unhelpful answer but if you want to work with tensorflow on Windows in particular, you probably want to follow the tensorflow gpu installation guide: tensorflow.org/install/gpu Reason being I've had headaches in the past with driver versions/cuda & cudnn versions and what tensorflow stable build supports at the moment. Might not want to install the latest cuda only to realize it's not compatible with current tf build
Most notably, the tensorflow installation specifies cuda 11.2 and cudnn 8.1.0. Even though latest cuda is 11.6.2 and cudnn is 8.3.2, I wouldn't install the latest versions if you're just wanting to try it out and it's not absolutely crucial that you need those latest updates
Taking a look at this. Thanks for taking the time to help me out. Hopefully this works for me.
The link is not broken, you just have to be signed into your nvidia account and then select the button that says “Join Nvidia Developer Program”. If you had to make an account through the link, you might have to sign out and then sign in again after clicking the CUDA download link. Source: I went through the “broken link” issue a few months ago lol
Wow! I did not know this. Thank you so much for letting me know 🥹😂
Do you absolutely need to use Win 10 home? If not, start installing Ubuntu for dual booting
Do I need Ubuntu for CUDA? I am fine with windows and prefer the easy CX. And trying to just learn stuff.
