Win 10 version NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics driver download and Paddle installation

2. In the opened NVIDIA window, we click: Driver;
3. The following page opens the NVIDIA driver download page (NVIDIA series graphics card), here we need to enter the product type, product series, product, operating system and language , Download type selection.

4. In the first step, we choose the product type, and take GTX 1060 as an example to illustrate the operation steps, such as

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card belongs to the GeForce series, so choose GeForce for the product type;

5. The second step is to select the product series. GTX 1060 belongs to the 10-series graphics card. We choose GeForce10 Series (note: for desktop computers, choose GeForce10 Series; if it is a notebook computer, choose the series with Notebooks in the suffix, that is, the series with M).

6. The third step is to select the product family, that is, the graphics card model: GTX 1060;

7. The fourth step is to select the operating system. This machine is installed with the Windows 10-64-bit professional version system, so choose: Windows 10 64-bit;

(If you don’t know what type your computer is, you can right-click the property column on the desktop icon, and then open the system information to see the system type)

8. The fifth step is to choose the language, the simplified Chinese I choose here: Chinese (Simplified);

9. So far, the product type, product series, product family, operating system and language of the graphics card have been selected, click: start searching;

10. After clicking Search, the latest version of the driver that needs the graphics card will appear, we click: Download;

11. Then ❶ click: agree and start downloading; ❷ click: download;

12. After the download is complete, we find the downloaded driver file in the local disk and double-click it;

13. We click: OK to start decompressing the compressed file, and wait for the decompression to complete;

14. After the decompression is completed, the NVIDIA installer window will open automatically. If we have selected the correct "product type, product series, product family, operating system and language" above, the installation of the GTX 1060 graphics card driver will be completed automatically.

15. If the selected "product type, product series, product family, operating system and language" is different from the local graphics card, the graphics card driver cannot be installed, and an error message will appear:

NVIDIA installer cannot continue

This graphics driver was unable to find compatible graphics hardware.

The above is: the download and installation method of the NVIDIA series graphics card driver, for the reference of friends who use the NVIDIA series graphics card.

If you're a gamer who wants to be supported the first time new games, patches, and game add-on downloadable content (DLC) are released on launch day, choose Game Ready Drivers.

If you're a content creator who prioritizes stability and quality in creative workflows such as video editing, animation, photography, graphic design, and live streaming, choose the Studio driver. Still confused? Don't worry, both drivers support great games and creative applications.

1. Download the nvidia driver version suitable for your computer configuration. remember! ! ! The download URLs of the new and old versions are as follows:
   

conda config --add channels https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/anaconda/pkgs/free/
conda config --add channels https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/anaconda/pkgs/main/
conda config --add channels https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/anaconda/cloud/Paddle/
conda config --set show_channel_urls yes

Installation process:
First, create the environment:
first check the python information you installed, if you need to create a new conda virtual environment for Paddle (you can choose the environment name after –name): see the figure below

conda create --name paddle python=3.7

In the middle there is a query Procced([y]/n)?

Second, activate the created paddle environment: activate paddle

Confirm that your conda virtual environment and the Python that needs to be installed with PaddlePaddle are where you expected, because your computer may have multiple Pythons

Enter the command line terminal of Anaconda, and enter the following command to confirm the location of Python: where python

Third, check whether your machine is suitable for installing the propeller
and confirm that Python and pip are 64 bits, and the processor architecture is x86_64 (or called x64, Intel 64 , AMD64) architecture, currently PaddlePaddle does not support arm64 architecture.
The first line below outputs "64bit", and the second line outputs "x86_64", "x64" or "AMD64":

Python -c "import platform;print(platform.architecture()[0]);print(platform.machine())"

Fourth, refer to the article Paddlepaddle Quick Installation for installation. The website is as follows: https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/install/quick?

My machine uses CUDA 10.1, cuDNN 7.6+, and the command to install the GPU version is :

conda install paddlepaddle-gpu cudatoolkit=10.1 -c paddle

Fifth, check whether the installation is successful
Check the version of Paddle

Enter in Anaconda Prompt: python -c "import paddle; print(paddle. version )" to view the version number of Paddle:

Check whether Paddle is installed successfully

Use python3 to enter the python interpreter, enter import paddle.fluid, and then enter paddle.fluid.install_check.run_check().

If Your Paddle Fluid is installed succesfully! appears, it means that you have successfully installed it (as shown in the figure below).

So far, the artificial intelligence paddle (Paddle) has been successfully installed.
