trying to install tensorflow gpu on windows 10 since three days.

says :
If you are installing TensorFlow with GPU support using one of the mechanisms described in this guide, then the following NVIDIA software must be installed on your system:
The NVIDIA drivers associated with CUDA Toolkit 9.0.
cuDNN v6.0. For details, see NVIDIA's documentation. Note that cuDNN is typically installed in a different location from the other CUDA DLLs. Ensure that you add the directory where you installed the cuDNN DLL to your %PATH% environment variable.
GPU card with CUDA Compute Capability 3.0 or higher. See NVIDIA documentation for a list of supported GPU cards.
I downloaded cuda toolkit 9.0 from archives. but there is no cudnn 6.0 for cuda 9.0 here : https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-download
It's driving me mad, as only thing available there is cudnn v7.
Please help me.
Apparently I cant comment... but I am having this exact same issue! Tensorflow has conflicting requirements for install. Cuda Tookit V8.0 is the last supported version for cudnn V6.0
For everyone who comes to this thread with issues on cudNN or cudart errors, here's a few notes:
- Tensorflow documentation may or may not be updated quickly enough after a new release.
- Tensorflow can be compiled (built) from scratch, which allows you to decide what CUDA and cuDNN version to use, so if you are using a pre-compiled binary, you will need the version of CUDA and cuDNN it was built for.
- You need to have cuDNN in the path.
- Tensorflow's documentation for installing a binary will always specify the version of CUDA and cuDNN it needs.
- If things don't work, try running a simple hello world tensorflow program and read the errors to know what version of CUDA / cuDNN to use.
- For example, a missing cudart64_81.dll needs the 64 bit version of CUDA 8.1.
- A missing cudnn64_6.dll needs cuDNN 6.0
