Tensorflow on GPU

Question

I've been able to work with TensorFlow on CPU, Now I need to run it on a GPU device with the following specs:

CPU: Intel Xeon(E5-2670) and win7 64bit and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti

I've installed python3.5 and Tensorflow for GPU just as described in TF homepage. when I run a test program here what I get when I try to import Tensorflow :

    (C:\Users\Engine>python
Python 3.5.3 (v3.5.3:1880cb95a742, Jan 16 2017, 16:02:32) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AM
D64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import tensorflow as tf

for some common reasons and solutions.  Include the entire stack trace
above this error message when asking for help.

Does anyone has a hint how this can be solved ?

Answer 1

1. CUDNN might be one of the reasons. cuDNN v6.0 does not work for many people. Try with cuDNN v5.1.
2. Importing from inside GIT folder is also one of the reasons.

Good to know 1 worked for you.
