Tensorflow GPU installation Error Windows 10 Anaconda

Question

I am having a tough time trying to setup Tensorflow for GPU use. I am no Windows 10, have already downloaded CUDA® Toolkit 8.0, cuDNN v5.1. and uninstalled Visual C++ 2015 redistributable and reinstalled as suggested by On Windows, running "import tensorflow" generates No module named "_pywrap_tensorflow" error but this did not have any effect. I am also not really sure about the PATH or if everything is included correctly there. Here is the error I keep getting (sorry it is not properly quoted but I kept getting formatting errors):

And here is what I get for my PATH (I think this is the problem, but I really don't know enough about what the PATH even is...)

Answer 1

Figured it out. Needed to copy the contents of the downloaded cudnn into the respective locations inside the CUDA folder (ie lib, bin, etc.)
