CUDA Toolkit and Compatible Driver Versions - CUDA 工具包和兼容的驱动程序版本
NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit Release Notes

1. CUDA Toolkit Major Components -> CUDA Driver
Running a CUDA application requires the system with at least one CUDA capable GPU and a driver that is compatible with the CUDA Toolkit. See Table 1. For more information various GPU products that are CUDA capable, visit https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus. Each release of the CUDA Toolkit requires a minimum version of the CUDA driver. The CUDA driver is backward compatible, meaning that applications compiled against a particular version of the CUDA will continue to work on subsequent (later) driver releases. More information on compatibility can be found at https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-best-practices-guide/index.html#cuda-runtime-and-driver-api-version.
运行 CUDA 应用程序需要系统至少具有一个支持 CUDA 的 GPU 和一个与 CUDA Toolkit 兼容的驱动程序。请参阅 表 1. 有关具有 CUDA 功能的各种 GPU 产品的更多信息，请访问 https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus。每个版本的 CUDA Toolkit 都需要最低版本的 CUDA 驱动程序。CUDA 驱动程序是向后兼容的，这意味着针对特定版本的 CUDA 编译的应用程序将继续在后续 (稍后) 驱动程序版本上运行。有关兼容性的更多信息，请访问https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-best-practices-guide/index.html#cuda-runtime-and-driver-api-version。
For convenience, the NVIDIA driver is installed as part of the CUDA Toolkit installation. Note that this driver is for development purposes and is not recommended for use in production with Tesla GPUs. For running CUDA applications in production with Tesla GPUs, it is recommended to download the latest driver for Tesla GPUs from the NVIDIA driver downloads site at http://www.nvidia.com/drivers.
为方便起见，NVIDIA 驱动程序是作为 CUDA Toolkit 安装的一部分安装的。请注意，此驱动程序用于开发目的，不建议用于使用 Tesla GPU 的生产。要使用 Tesla GPU 在生产环境中运行 CUDA 应用程序，建议从 NVIDIA 驱动程序下载站点 http://www.nvidia.com/drivers 下载 Tesla GPU 的最新驱动程序。
During the installation of the CUDA Toolkit, the installation of the NVIDIA driver may be skipped on Windows (when using the interactive or silent installation) or on Linux (by using meta packages). For more information on customizing the install process on Windows, see http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-microsoft-windows/index.html#install-cuda-software.
在安装 CUDA Toolkit 期间，可以在 Windows (使用交互式或静默安装时) 或 Linux (使用元数据包) 上跳过 NVIDIA 驱动程序的安装。有关在 Windows 上自定义安装过程的详细信息，请参阅 http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-microsoft-windows/index.html#install-cuda-software。
