Issue

Using tensorflow 2.4.1

When I run my program, I'm getting this error and can't use my gpu.

I'm using CUDA 11.0, cudnn 8.0

Solution

watch this video to solve this problem,
this file not found error arises due to the missing of Microsoft visual studio C++ reproducible file in the CUDA folder.
additional;
with the PyTorch in conda environment, there is no addition CUDA and Cudnn installation, because after type conda install pytorch, conda installs both CUDA and cudnn into that conda environment.
