I’ve been trying to use GPU (notebook version of GTX 1650 Ti in Lenovo ideapad gaming 3 81Y4015PCK) in pytorch, but when I check for CUDA support by torch.cuda.is_available(), it returns False. I’m running under windows 10 with latest nvidia driver (installed a week ago), nvidia-smi reports driver version 471.41, cuda version 11.4. Pytorch is installed using pip, as shown on pytorch’s website
pip install torch==1.9.0+cu111 torchvision==0.10.0+cu111 torchaudio===0.9.0 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html
The weird thing is that I also tried to use Anaconda, that didn’t work either. I tried installing different versions of pytorch and cuda (10.2 and 11.1), I tried booting live images of Ubuntu, Pop OS (with preinstalled NVIDIA driver) and some other linux distros, and installing torch there, again with no success. I would’ve thought the GPU is dead, but all my games are running perfectly using that same GPU. Any clue, what might be the problem here?
