Fixing the "CUDA Driver Version is Insufficient" error using the NVIDIA 470xx driver and CUDA 11.4
Compatibility issues between the CUDA toolkit and NVIDIA driver versions are frequently the cause of encountering the "CUDA driver version is insufficient" message. In this instance, the documentation states that utilizing CUDA 11.4 with the NVIDIA 470xx driver should function as intended; yet, customers occasionally still experience runtime problems. Any misalignments can be brought to light by using programs like nvidia-smi to verify the driver and CUDA versions. Runtime issues can be avoided and smooth GPU performance with CUDA applications can be guaranteed with these checks and, if necessary, an official driver install from the NVIDIA website.
