This tutorial will help you to run Tensorflow in Windows 11 to use GPU for modelling, with the latest Visual Studio, CUDA and latest drivers. In this case, I’m using RTX 3060Ti Lite Hashes and Python 3.7 – 3.10 for Windows. (I use Python 3.10.9)
TLDR;
We need to install
- Clean Windows Installation and GPU drivers card
- the Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) compiler 2022
- the CUDA Toolkit 11.8
- the cuDNN libraries
- Install tensorflow
Pre-requisites
1. Windows fresh installation to remove the complexity of issues or bugs is recommended here. I did re-install my Windows 11 in this step
2. Instead of using Nvidia Geforce Experience, I uninstall the GPU drivers (back to Microsoft Basic) and use NVCleanstall to download my RTX 3060 drivers without others bloatware https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-nvcleanstall/
3. I use Python 3.9 from Anaconda https://www.anaconda.com/products/distribution
