TensorFlow GPU CUDA CUDDN errors

Question

I am attempting to install TensorFlow GPU on an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M. I have installed CUDA and added the PATH variables:

C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v8.0
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v8.0\bin
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v8.0\libnvvp

I then added the CUDNN files into the respective 'CUDA\\v8.0\\' files. I did not add any new path variables as the bin is already included above.

When I try to import tensorflow I get the leingthy error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I cannot for the life of me figure out where I went wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

I used CUDA version 6.0 when it only works with 5.1. I realized this at the time of posting but did not realize that I had left cudnn64_6.dll behind in the lib... Yup

Everything works now!
