@hjung although you are getting `True` for `torch.cuda.is_available()`, without underlying nvidia drivers you will be unable to use it for tensor operations

There is an older thread discussing the same thing

> Can I simply go to pytorch website and use the following link to download a CUDA enabled pytorch library ? Or do i have to set up the CUDA on my device first, before installing the CUDA enabled pytorch ? pip3 install torch===1.3.0 torchvision===0.4.1 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch\_stable.html
