I would highly appreciate if compute capability 3.5 were added to the package again. I am using a Titan Black and cannot use TF without it.

Thank you in advance for the consideration.

Is this a duplicate of  FS#69005 ? If not, what specifically was disabled, and when?
Comment by Martin Saraceno (tinux) - Thursday, 17 December 2020, 19:59 GMT
It is not a duplicate (of  FS#69005 ). The problem that I am facing is that TF is compiled with `TF_CUDA_COMPUTE_CAPABILITIES=5.2,5.3,6.0,6.1,6.2,7.0,7.2,7.5,8.0,8.6`. If I change this to `TF_CUDA_COMPUTE_CAPABILITIES=3.5` in PKGBUILD and recompile, only then there will be a kernel available for my hardware (Nvidia Titan Black). I tried this and it works. If not **nothing** will run on the GPU.

I assume that changing the PKGBUILD to `export TF_CUDA_COMPUTE_CAPABILITIES=3.5,5.2,5.3,6.0,6.1,6.2,7.0,7.2,7.5,8.0,8.6` should solve this generally. I am not sure what other compute capabilities, other than 3.5 which I would greatly appreciate, would be useful for other people. I don't know if there are any drawback associated to this, but I guess none.

3.5 is very out of date and has been officially deprecated. I will not support it. However, you should be able to easily build it by modifying the list you already found. NVIDIA is likely to drop it soon as it's been marked deprecated for some time now so you should look into upgrading your hardware at any rate if you want to keep running modern software.
