KFrank:

However, my understanding
of this (which could well be wrong) is that it is perfectly possible for
you to have your cuda version / cuda driver work properly with
your gpu, and have your version of pytorch work properly with your
cuda driver, but have pytorch not work with the specific compute
capability of your gpu.


This is exactly what I was wondering about. I agree with your recommendation and will keep trying older versions of pytorch to see if I find one that will work with my gpu. Thank you for your detailed response!
Does anyone know where I can download older version of pytorch for linux?
