Has anyone been able to make tensorflow detect the GPU using python 3.7?
How did you do it? I've downloaded cuDNN 8.1, CUDA 11.2, then pip installed tensorflow using pip install tensorflow-gpu==2.5 I've added another environment variable for cuDNN's bin, however I am still getting this result Num GPUs Available 0. Does Tensorflow (CUDA 11.2) even work with the AMD Radeon Vega 8?
No it does not, because cuDNN is a product of NVIDIA and so is CUDA. NVIDIA designs their own GPUs and their product will look for those GPUs. In order for tensorflow to detect the GPU you will have to use one of NVIDIA's GPU.

I'm trying to use my laptop RTX 3070 GPU for CNN model training because I have to employ a exhastive grid search to tune the hyper parameters. I tried many different methods however, I could not get it done. Can anyone kindly point me in the right direction?
I followed the following procedure.
The procedure:
Installed the NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit 11.2
Installed NVIDIA cuDNN 8.1 by downloading and pasting the files (bin,include,lib) into the NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit/CUDA/V11.2
Setup the environment variable by including the path in the system path for both bin and libnvvm.
Installed tensorflow 2.11 and python 3.8 in a new conda environment.
However, I was unable to setup the system to use the GPU that is available. The code seems to be only using the CPU and when I query the following request I get the below output.
query:
import tensorflow as tf
print("TensorFlow version:", tf.__version__)
print("Num GPUs Available: ", len(tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU')))
Output:
TensorFlow version: 2.11.0
Num GPUs Available: 0
Am I missing something here or anyone has the same issue like me?
You should use DirectML plugin. From tensorflow 2.11 Gpu support has been dropped for native windows. you need to use DirectML plugin.
You can follow the tutorial here to install
I'm using Anaconda prompt to install:
Tensorflow 2.10.0
cudatoolkit 11.3.1
cudnn 8.2.1
I'm using Windows 11 and a RTX 3070 Nvidia graphic card. And all the drives have been updated.
And I tried downloading another version of CUDA and CUdnn in exe.file directly from CUDA website. And
added the directories into system path.The folder looks like this:
But whenever I type in:
import tensorflow as tf
print("Num GPUs Available: ", len(tf.config.experimental.list_physical_devices('GPU')))
It gives me Num GPUs Available: 0
And surely it eats my CPU for computing everything.
It once succeeded when I used Colab and use GPU as the accelerator then created a session using my GPU. That time the GPU load has been maximized. But later don't know how, I can't use my own GPU for training in Colab or even their default free GPU.
Please help. ChatGPT doesn't give me correct information since it only referred to knowledge before 2020. It keeps asking me to install 'tensorflow-gpu' which has already been removed.
I have a Samsung notebook Windows 10 with 8GB of Ram, an Intel Graphics 5500 GPU and a Geforce 920M. I have been trying to use my NVIDIA to run code on Jupyter Notebook using Tensorflow. My Tensorflow codes do not run on the version
tensorflow 2.0, so I had to install previous versions of tensorflow. I installed CUDDA 9.0, tensorflow_gpu-1.12.0, and cuDNN 7, and it didn't work, then I tried to install tensorflow_gpu-1.5.0 with Anaconda, and it worked using the Intel GPU instead of mine NVIDIA, in that one moment I modified the settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel for my Geforce, but still the Intel GPU is being used instead of my NVIDIA. Why is this happening?
Try installing Nvidia's CUDA. Afterwards, when you run Tensorflow, it should run on your GPU.
I've tensorflow installed with CUDA 7.5 and cuDNN 5.0. My graphics card is NVIDIA Geforce 820M with capability 2.1. However, I get this error.
Ignoring visible gpu device (device: 0, name: GeForce 820M, pci bus id: 0000:08:00.0) with Cuda compute capability 2.1. The minimum required Cuda capability is 3.0.
Device mapping: no known devices.
Is there any way to run GPU on a 2.1 capability?
I scoured online to find that it is cuDNN that requires this capability, so will installing an earlier version of cuDNN enable me to use GPU?
tensorflow-gpu requires GPUs of compute capability 3.0 or higher for GPU acceleration and this has been true since the very first release of tensorflow.
cuDNN has also required GPUs of compute capability 3.0 or higher since the very first release of cuDNN.
With tensorflow (using Keras), you might be able to get it to run with PlaidML PlaidML. I have been able to run tensorflow with GPU on AMD and NVidia GPUs (some are old) with PlaidML. It's not as fast as CUDA, but much faster than your CPU.
For reference, I have run it on an old Macbook Pro (2012) with an NVidia 650 GPU (1.5 GB) as well as an AMD HD Radeon 750 3GB.
The caveat is that it needs to be Keras vs lower level TF. There are lots of articles on it, and now it has support from Intel.
I want to use the GPU enabled version of Tensorflow. I read that it works best with CUDA 7.5 but the server that I am using has CUDA version 5.5 installed.
Can I configure Tensorflow with CUDA 5.5? If yes, how? I have installed tensorflow in a virtual environment.
From the installation doc:
In order to build or run TensorFlow with GPU support, both NVIDIA's Cuda Toolkit (>= 7.0) and cuDNN (>= v2) need to be installed.
If you don't install from source, you will need to use version 7.5.
Also make sure that you have a compatible GPU:
TensorFlow GPU support requires having a GPU card with NVidia Compute Capability >= 3.0. Supported cards include but are not limited to:
NVidia Titan
NVidia Titan X
NVidia K20
NVidia K40
