I have already tried multiple versions of nvidia-driver
(360, 390, 460) - but with all of them I get following when I run nvidia-smi
:
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
Here are my hardware and software details:
