NVIDIA GTX 960 CUDA Compatibility and Setup Guide
Hardware Verification
To ensure that the system has a CUDA-capable GPU, one can use the command lspci | grep -i nvidia
to check for NVIDIA GPUs installed on the machine[^1]. For an NVIDIA GTX 960 card, this step confirms its presence.
Driver Installation
Before installing CUDA, updating the graphics driver is essential. Although specific instructions were given for Windows with a path like C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v7.5\
, similar principles apply across operating systems when it comes to ensuring drivers are up-to-date before proceeding with CUDA installation[^2].
CUDA Version Selection
The NVIDIA GTX 960 supports compute capability 5.2 which means it should be compatible with newer versions of CUDA but optimal performance might require using older releases such as CUDA 7.x or 8.x depending upon application requirements. The latest version tested explicitly against GTX 960 would provide better compatibility assurance.
Docker Alternative
For those preferring containerized environments, pulling pre-configured images via commands like docker pull nvidia/cuda:11.0.3-cudnn8-devel-ubuntu18.04
offers another route towards setting up development environments without direct interaction between host OS and CUDA toolkit[^4].
PyTorch Integration Example
While not directly related to GTX 960 configuration specifically, integrating frameworks like PyTorch demonstrates practical usage scenarios where having properly configured CUDA becomes important. Source code installations involving multiple dependencies highlight how critical correct setup steps become especially concerning GPU acceleration features[^5]:
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$(dirname $(which conda))/../"
conda install numpy pyyaml mkl mkl-include setuptools cmake cffi typing
conda install -c pytorch magma-cuda90
git clone --recursive https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch
cd pytorch
python setup.py install
