According to this link, you need to install the latest CUDA to make the GPU accessible.

So follow the official instruction to install CUDA 12.8, and install pytorch-nightly later:

pip install --pre torch --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cu128

A very helpful thread! A few additional notes:

  1. In my case, ASUS TUF 5070Ti works only with the nvidia-driver-570-open, not the non-open version.
  2. go to tty3, stop gdm3 leads to a black screen with blinking "_", you can go to another tty by ctrl+alt+F4 (not sure if tty3 still works).
  3. reboot after install.
