Troubleshooting PyTorch and Torchvision CUDA Version Mismatch

If you're working with PyTorch and Torchvision, you may encounter a common issue related to the mismatch of CUDA versions. This problem can arise when PyTorch and Torchvision have been compiled with different CUDA versions, leading to import errors. This guide aims to clarify the issue and provide a step-by-step solution to resolve it, ensuring a smoother machine learning experience.

Understanding the CUDA Mismatch Issue

The Error Message

When you try to import Torchvision after installing PyTorch, you might see an error similar to:

This error indicates that your PyTorch installation (with CUDA version 11.0) does not match the Torchvision installation (with CUDA version 10.1). Having synchronously compatible CUDA versions is crucial for the libraries to function correctly together.

How to Resolve the Error

Step 1: Uninstall Current Installations

To address the issue, the first step is to uninstall both PyTorch and Torchvision. Open your Anaconda Prompt and type the following command:

This command installs both libraries while specifying the required CUDA toolkit version.

Additional Troubleshooting Tips

Check Your Python Version: Make sure you're using a compatible Python version (3.7 in your case) in your virtual environment.

Verify Your Environment: Before reinstalling, check that you're in the correct environment where you intend to install the packages.

Update Anaconda: Sometimes, running an outdated version of Anaconda can lead to unexpected issues. Ensure your Anaconda is up-to-date by running:
