It looks correct, so I don’t know why torch.version.cuda returns None.
The torch.version.cuda tag would be automatically generated in torch/version.py and should return the shipped CUDA runtime regardless, if you can actually use the GPU or would be facing a driver issue etc.
You could check it at e.g. CONDA_PATH/envs/ENV_NAME/site-packages/torch/version.py.
Since it’s returning None I guess the installation isn’t successful or you are using another conda env.
OK. It is getting very confusing to me. Since you told me I could be using another conda environment (I activated the new environment… besides, my base environment also has correct pytorch installed anyways) I tried running the code in terminal instead of running it on the file.
It returns the wanted value! (ie torch.version.cuda returns 11.1 and torch.cuda.is_available() returns true)
However if I run the file which only has
import torch
print(torch.version.cuda)
print(torch.cuda.is_available())
it returns
None
False
Clearly I am too much of a newbie to understand what is going on?!
How are you running the file? Apparently when you run the file you are using a different environment than when you run python in the terminal 
I am using visual studio code and pressing the ‘green arrow’ button which the description says ‘run Python file in Terminal’ (which in my eye looks like I should be in the correct new environment…)
I had no idea the environment could be different… Very confusing… What could be done to fix this issue? My googling skill doesn’t seem to be good enough to find out.
Hi Jack, in this case almost surely the problem is due to different environments.
In the command line (where it works) run
where python
You should get the location of the binary for the environment. For example, in my case (I regrettably use the base env for everything) I get:
C:\Users\valer\anaconda3\python.exe
I don’t use Visual Studio Code but you should find your answer here:
Using Python Environments in Visual Studio Code. Your VScode interpreter should be the same as the one outputted by the command line.
Let me know if it works
OK the issue has been resolved and I think the reason this all happened is because I have conda installed in different user’s directory. (This is due to the fact that my initial user name is in Non-English language so it was impossible to install conda so I created a dummy user to install conda)
So thank you ptrblack and Valerio_Biscione. I don’t think I would have solved issue anytime soon without your help!!

Hi,
when I run “conda install torch”, I got this:

Thanks ptrblck.

But still can’t import torch. And got: Torch CUDA is not Available
It seems conda is trying to download the old 0.4.0 release, so you might need to update conda to be able to use the current nightly.
I observe the following problem:
conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.1 -c pytorch -c nvidia
pytorch 1.8.1 py3.9_cuda11.1_cudnn8.0.5_0
conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.0 -c pytorch -c nvidia
pytorch 1.8.1 py3.9_cpu_0
can you help me figure out why the CPU only version is installed when using version 11.0 of the cudatoolkit?
PyTorch 1.8.1 wasn’t built with cudatoolkit=11.0 (the last PyTorch release with this CUDA runtime was 1.7.1), so you could install the release with cudatoolkit 11.1 or 10.2 as described in the install instructions.

I am getting the same error for some Python/PyTorch combinations, for example, py3.9 and pt1.7
I’m unsure what “the same” error is referring to, but in case you are seeing @geoHeil’s error, note that 1.8.1 wasn’t built with cudatoolkit=11.0 as already mentioned and you would thus have to use 11.1 or 10.2.
@ptrblck
Hello ptrblck,
Do we need to explicitly install cudnn after running following command?
conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.1 -c pytorch-lts -c nvidia
Thanks ans regards,
sudhir
No, cudnn8.0.5 will be installed using your posted command and you can check it via:
torch.backends.cudnn.is_available()
torch.backends.cudnn.version()
@ptrblck -
I know this thread seems to have run on forever, and please forgive me for asking, but I’m seemingly having the same issue on my Ubuntu 18.04 machine. I have followed what instructions I can above, but I’m also getting a CUDA Available = False result. Below is the output of environment, can you please provide guidance? thanks

As @Tony-Y already pointed out, you have installed the CPU-only version of the PyTorch binary, so CUDA won’t be available. However, your K1100M has a compute capability of 3.0, which is not supported in the current binaries anymore.
