tensorflow2.2.0 + Cuda11.0 GPU test returns False

I'm working on a windows-10 pc with a GeForce GTX-980Ti.

I installed the latest Nvidia Driver 451.67, Visual Studio 2019 version 16.6.4, tensorflow-gpu 2.2.0. Then I downloaded and installed cuda 11.0 and cuDNN8.0.1 RC2 for cuda11.0.

I'm able to verify the installation and run the sample programs.

The Problem arises when I try to test it in anaconda:

Can someone tell me why it is looking for outdated dll? I've read that I could manually add dlls but doing so is not advised. Does anyone have a solution to this?

I installed python 3.8.4 from the python website but anaconda gives me this:

(base) PS C:\Windows\system32> python --version
Python 3.7.6.

Probably not related, just wanted to mention it. Thank you!

Solution

Note that Tensorflow-2.2.0 on windows doesn't support CUDA-11.0 and CuDNN-8.0, it supports CUDA-10.1 and CuDNN-7.4 as given in their documentation.

I suggest you to do following things:

Uninstall tensorflow-gpu
Remove all versions of CUDA and CuDNN
Install CUDA-10.1 and CuDNN-7.4
Install tensorflow-gpu

From documentation => In particular, TensorFlow will not load without the cuDNN64_7.dll file.

Note:

Refer this to install Tensorflow with pip on windows - https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip#1.-install-the-python-development-environment-on-your-system
If you need any help with Tensorflow on anaconda environment refer this - https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/user-guide/tasks/tensorflow/
