If a program says it wants CUDA 10 can I get away with installing CUDA 12 or does CUDA 10 mean "CUDA 10 exactly"

It's specifically asking for "cudart64_101.dll"

NVIDIA: To convince you to buy our video cards and not AMDs, we're going to create high-quality support libraries which are exclusive to our GPUs.

ME: Okay, I bought an Nvidia card. Can I download these fancypants helper libraries now

NVIDIA: Welcome, traveler. Such wares we have… but first you must solve our labyrinth

I wonder which is the worse possibility… that NVidia Omnisphere can't install these libraries for me, or that NVidia Omniworld can install the libraries and I'm over here fighting with the website anyway

@mcc I've read this several times, and my mind is still seeing "Omnishambles".

@darkling Good name for it

CUDA 10 installer is offhandedly mentioning that "overwrites the current display driver". Cannot wait to find out what horrible dll hell consequences I'm setting myself up for in about a year by clicking "OK"

Oh. I … oh. Oh

@mcc nvidia cuda made a better installer

@anyprophet oh no

It said it couldn't find "cudart64_101.dll" so I I installed CUDA 10.2 and that didn't work so I realized "_101" might mean 10.1 so I uninstalled it and installed CUDA 10.1 and it still didn't work and then I closed my cmd.exe window and opened a new one and now it works, and I wonder if CUDA 10.2 would have worked if I'd stuck with that one. On the other hand, CUDA 10.2's installer claimed it had failed to install about 50% of its components and 10.1 gave no errors, so… I know nothing.

@mcc why dont use official nvidia cuda docker images?

@ale scratches head I'm on Windows. I thought Docker was Linux. Can a Linux docker image running on a Windows machine actually make use of the video card?

@filenine In the final pane there was a tiny note hidden at the bottom of a long scroll indicating it refused to install the display driver because there was already a newer one installed. Which, good, but why'd they have to scare me like that :(

@mcc they also cause Linux crashes pretty regularly. I've come to regret switching my main desktop to an nVidia card, just because I wanted to tinker with 3D stuff every now and then and everyone said nVidia was much better supported.

@swelljoe Don't worry— I've got a linux laptop with an AMD chipset and it is giving me so many troubles

@mcc I assume that the “selected” indicator for a button is white text instead of black text?

@ramsey apparently ?!?
