Install pytorch 1.9.0 with unexpected problem

1

I follow the official guide to install pytorch 1.9.0 + cuda11.3

conda install pytorch==1.9.0 torchvision==0.10.0 torchaudio==0.9.0 cudatoolkit=11.3 -c pytorch -c conda-forge

after installment finished, it seems cpu version is installed,not GPU

According to output of conda list
1, what is cpuonly?
2, the following
pytorch 1.9.0 py3.8_cpu_0 [cpuonly] pytorch

means that pytorch 1.9.0 cpu version is installed, not GPU version, why?

any help is appreciated .

Yes, it seems the CPU-only binary was installed. The install log should show which package was found and might give you more information why the binary with the CUDA runtime wasn’t installed.
PS: I would also recommend to install the latest binary (1.12.0) instead of an older one for the latest fixes and features.

I found on site https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html, pytorch 1.9.0 has no stable version connecting to cuda11.3, so pytorch 1.9.0 + cuda11.3 is not good choice, right?

in my local computer, I installed a cuda version of 11.3 in ubutnu environment, when I run offical command
conda install pytorch==1.9.0 torchvision==0.10.0 torchaudio==0.9.0 cudatoolkit=11.3 -c pytorch -c conda-forge

it detects my local cuda of version v11.3, and is forced to change to cpu version? is this possible ? if so, I think it isn’t to a good strategy, since local cuda is independent to cuda in conda’s virtual environment, more than one versions of cuda exist in my computer.
1 ubuntu: cuda 11.3
2 conda: 1) tensorflow + cuda 10.2 2)pytorch1.9.0 + cuda11.1(I want to change it to pytorch1.9.0 + cuda11.3)

I use pytorch 1.10, which is in list of https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html, and installment of gpu version is successful.

Yes, this could indeed be the case and I don’t remember which PyTorch binary release shipped with the CUDA 11.3 runtime. Note that your local CUDA toolkit won’t be used unless you build PyTorch from source or a custom CUDA extension.
Good to hear it’s working now!
