How do I use TensorFlow GPU?

Follow this tutorial Tensorflow GPU I did it and it works perfect.

Attention! - install version 9.0! newer version is not supported by Tensorflow-gpu

Steps:

  1. Uninstall your old tensorflow
  2. Install tensorflow-gpu pip install tensorflow-gpu
  3. Install Nvidia Graphics Card & Drivers (you probably already have)
  4. Download & Install CUDA
  5. Download & Install cuDNN
  6. Verify by simple program
from tensorflow.python.client import device_lib 
print(device_lib.list_local_devices())

The 'new' way to install tensorflow GPU if you have Nvidia, is with Anaconda. Works on Windows too. With 1 line.

conda create --name tf_gpu tensorflow-gpu 

This is a shortcut for 3 commands, which you can execute separately if you want or if you already have a conda environment and do not need to create one.

  1. Create an anaconda environment conda create --name tf_gpu

  2. Activate the environment conda activate tf_gpu

  3. Install tensorflow-GPU conda install tensorflow-gpu

You can use the conda environment.
