Support for Older nVidia GPU?

[ahmadnbl]

Currently I have laptop with these specs:

• Lenovo G400s
• 8GB Ram
• i3 3110-M
• nVidia GT 720M

Software specs:

• Host Debian buster
• Installed nvidia container
• nVidia driver using 390.xx version
• Installed Cuda version: 9.1.85

When I run the docker image, I got this error

docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:349: starting container process caused "process_linux.go:449: container init caused \"process_linux.go:432: running prestart hook 0 caused \\\"error running hook: exit status 1, stdout: , stderr: nvidia-container-cli: requirement error: unsatisfied condition: cuda>=10.2, please update your driver to a newer version, or use an earlier cuda container\\\\n\\\"\"": unknown.
ERRO[0003] error waiting for container: context canceled

It stated that I need to install newer driver and Cuda version, which I can't because the gpu is not supported anymore on newer driver version.

For that, I just wanna ask, do you have any plan to support older nVidia GPU?

I had a horrible time getting nvidia to work.. I probably won't spend a lot of time trying to backport it. That's a pretty old card. If you know docker, feel free to try to modify Dockerfile.cuda to see if you can get an older version to work.

Haha ok then, will try to custom the docker image. Will inform in this thread if I got any update. For now, will closed this ticket first. Thanks!
